The Common Sense Census: Media Use by Tweens and Teens in America, A Common Sense Media Research Study, United States, 2015

These data are from a nationally representative, probability-based, and cross-sectional online survey that was taken by participants ages 8-18 in 2015. The goal of this Common Sense research study was to present a big-picture look at the large trends and patterns of media usage among tweens (ages 8- to 12-years-old) and teenagers (ages 13- to 18-years-old) in the United States. Participants answered questions about media use, including the level of enjoyment, frequency of use, and amount of time devoted to a wide array of screen-based activities (watching TV shows, playing video games, and using social media) and non-screen-based media activities (reading and listening to music). For screen-based media activities, participants also answered questions about the devices they use (computers, smartphones, and tablets). Demographics include age, household income, parent education, race/ethnicity, gender, household size, and parent/caregiver employment status.

本数据集源自于一项全国代表性、概率抽样及横断面在线调查，该调查于2015年由8至18岁的参与者完成。此次常识研究项目的目标是呈现美国青少年（8至12岁）和青少年（13至18岁）群体在媒体使用方面的宏观趋势和模式。参与者就媒体使用情况进行了回答，包括对各种基于屏幕的活动（观看电视节目、玩电子游戏和使用社交媒体）和非基于屏幕的媒体活动（阅读和聆听音乐）的享受程度、使用频率及投入时间。对于基于屏幕的媒体活动，参与者还就所使用的设备（电脑、智能手机和平板电脑）进行了回答。人口统计学信息包括年龄、家庭收入、父母教育程度、种族/民族、性别、家庭规模以及父母/监护人就业状况。
