Abstract

Seminar papers dealt with ERR (Estonian Broadcasting Union) survey „Meediateemaline arvamusuuring 2010“ among 20-29 years students and youths and 40-49 years (under)graduates and middle-aged people. Television viewing and its similarities, differences were under the survey. Internet using is watched as a background of these two age-specific and educational groups. Baccalaureat theses (TV Viewing Among Students at Age 20-29) deals with eleven interviews among students who study different type of social sciences. Almost exactly the same questions that are asked in interviews, are also asked in „Meediateemaline arvamusuuring 2010“ survey. In the part of theoretical and emprical framework I have given short overview about integrated model of media choice by McQuail, television-viewing tendencies and about mediausing among students (I used different authors like Tulva, Livingstone, Arnett, Santrock, Siibak, Prensky, Raud) to point out life-span differences among the groups of this survey. Talking about results, one can point out that by virtue of ERR survey, about 67% students watch television daily or almost daily. About half of interviewed student watch television daily or almost daily. Students who watch television daily or almost daily live mainly with their parents or partner. Some of interviewed students watch television only if there is something to watch. Television is also viewed when one has time or is boring. In ERR survey says that about 6% of students watch television from four up to five and more hours a day. About 19% of students prefer to watch television about half an hour up to one hour a day. One can say that students do not watch so much television as an average Estonian (By Emor survey in april an average Estonian watched television about 3 hours and 40 minutes daily). Some of interviewed students watch television from few minutes up to one hour a day. Some of them watch television about six hours a day. It is important to note that television viewing depends also on working day or week-end.
