Examining the Relationship Between Cartoon Watching in Childhood and Positive Childhood Experiences and Interpersonal Relationships in Young Adulthood

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between cartoon watching in childhood, young adults' childhood experiences, and interpersonal relationships. For this purpose, a total of 211 participants, aged between 18 and 28, were reached. "Socio-Demographic Information Form," "Childhood Cartoon Survey," which was created by the researchers, "Positive Childhood Experiences Scale (PCES)," and "Scale of Dimensions of Interpersonal Relationships (SDIR)" were used to collect the data. The findings of the study showed that 70.02% of the participants watched violent cartoons during childhood, and the majority (56.4%) used to watch cartoons for two to three hours a day. It was determined that the participants had a high level of positive childhood experiences. The SDIR results revealed that the participants had a high level of approval dependency, a low level of empathy and emotional awareness, and that they had difficulty trusting others. Upon examination of the comparative analysis results, no significant difference was found in scales according to the daily cartoon watching time. It was found that those who watched violent cartoons had significantly lower positive childhood experiences and emotional awareness and higher approval dependency. Empathy levels were shown to be significantly higher in people who watched nonviolent cartoons. When the SDIR subscales were examined, the empathy levels of men were significantly higher than women. Positive childhood experiences were significantly higher in the 23–28 age group compared to the 18–22 age group. The study was aimed at being a source for future studies in this field.
