本研究旨在探討中部地區幼兒電視收視行為與健康情形的相關性，採問卷調查方式進行探究，以自編幼兒電視收視行為與健康情形之調查問卷作為本研究之工具，以多階段簡單隨機抽樣方式抽取苗栗縣、臺中市、臺中縣、彰化縣、南投縣以及雲林縣共六個縣市1,063 位4~6 足歲之幼兒，研究中採描述性及推論性統計方法進行分析。本研究結論如下：一、中部地區幼兒之電視收視行為為良好的情況。二、女生、正常體型及沒有近視的幼兒，其電視收視行為分別比男生、其他體型、有近視的幼兒佳；臺中市幼兒的電視收視行為比其他縣市的幼兒佳；一週中收看5 天以下電視的幼兒，其電視收視行為優於一週收看6 天及7 天電視的幼兒；平日收看電視1 小時以下、假日收看2 小時以下的幼兒，其電視收視行為優於平日收看超過1 小時以上、假日收看超過2 小時以上的幼兒；家中只有1台電視機、電視機沒有放在餐廳及主臥房、沒有裝設有線電視的幼兒，其電視收視行為，比家中擁有2 台電視機以上、電視機放在餐廳及主臥房、家中裝設有線電視的幼兒佳。三、幼兒背景變項中以幼兒體型對其電視收視行為之預測力最高。四、電視收視行為對幼兒之身體、心理、社會健康以及幼兒健康情形總量表皆具預測能力，其中又以幼兒健康情形總量表的解釋力最高。最後，研究者根據本研究結果提出若干建議，以供幼兒照顧者及學前教育機構之參考。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between television (TV)viewing behavior and health status among children. The questionnaire survey methodwas adopted. The research tool was a self-developed questionnaire titled “survey onTV viewing behavior and health status of children”.
