Abstract

This study investigated differences in the television viewing and idol worship behaviors of Taiwan’s indigenous youth and used a questionnaire survey to sample 284 indigenous youths. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and chi-square tests using SPSS. The research results and suggestions are as follows: (1) Father’s education attainment significantly affected the amount of time students spent watching television during the week (λ= 49.537, df = 24, p = .002). (2) Father’s education attainment had a significant effect on idol worship genres (λ2 = 47.408, df = 30, p = .023). (3) According to the chi-square test, differences in television viewing time and idol worship during the week and the weekend failed to meet the threshold for significance, indicating nonsignificant correlation.

Key words: Taiwanese indigenous youths, television viewing behavior, idol worship, education level, father, mother.
