Effects of Demographic Characteristics and Parenting Attitudes on Adolescent Daily Time Use

The present study investigated the relationship of Korean adolescents’ daily time use patterns with their demographic characteristics and perceived parenting attitudes. The fourth wave data of seventh graders in the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) were used. The daily time use patterns were defined as the amount of time spent in daily maintenance, schoolwork, and leisure activities. The participants reported to spend 378 and 511 minutes for sleeping, 179 and 198 minutes for doing homework, and 166 and 408 minutes for participating in leisure activities daily on weekdays and weekends, respectively. Such daily time uses were affected by their sex, parents’ educational backgrounds, family incomes, a number of days their parents were absent at home after school, and their perceived parenting attitudes. The study limited the daily time use for the overt activities, engendering a limited understanding of their subjective daily lives. However, it may be concluded that Korean adolescents’ demographic characteristics and perceived parenting attitudes of parents explain their daily time uses related to overt activities.
