Parents in high-SES families are more likely to limit television viewing than other parents.

Research studies have consistently shown that parents in high-SES (socioeconomic status) families are more likely to limit television viewing than parents in low-SES families or those with moderate-SES. This may be due to the fact that high-SES parents are more likely to place an emphasis on educational and intellectual activities and have more resources to provide alternative forms of entertainment and enrichment for their children.
