New Survey: Parents' Satisfaction with the TV Parental Guidelines Remains Overwhelmingly High
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board (TVOMB) today released the results of its bi-annual national survey, which revealed that parental satisfaction with the accuracy of TV Parental Guidelines (i.e., the TV ratings system) remains extremely high and that parents find the TV ratings system a valuable resource when determining the age appropriateness of television programs. Specifically, the survey revealed that 90% of American parents found the TV ratings system helped them determine whether to allow their children to watch a particular show and nearly all parents (95%) expressed satisfaction with the accuracy of the TV ratings system for TV shows overall.
The online survey, conducted by Hart Research Associates during August and September 2022, included more than 1,050 American parents of children ages two to 17. The survey is part of the Monitoring Board's ongoing tracking of parents' awareness of and attitudes towards the TV ratings system.
"The television landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years as more and more programming options have been made available to American families," said Charles Rivkin, Chairman of the Monitoring Board and Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association (MPA). "This survey demonstrates the value and trust that parents place in the TV Parental Guidelines to help them navigate the age-appropriateness of TV programs. The Monitoring Board is proud to remain a trusted partner of parents when they are making critical decisions about the shows their children can watch."
Among other significant findings, the survey revealed that:
Overall, parents have an overwhelmingly favorable view of TV ratings, with most parents satisfied with the accuracy of the TV ratings for shows on TV today. Parents' level of satisfaction with the content labels also holds steady across all children's age groups. The Monitoring Board will continue to provide premier service in creating a safe environment for children and families to view TV programs and will strive to keep parents overwhelmingly satisfied with TV ratings.
