Parents’ Views of Video Games: Habitus Forms in the Context of Parental Mediation

Abstract

This research project was conducted to explore parental attitudes towards and their mediation of video games. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 28 parents (14 couples) assessed their media-related habitus, their media-educational habitus and the interaction between the habitus. The results show that the media-related habitus has a significant influence on the media-educational habitus.
