  • Sur la base du questionnaire destiné aux parents de DigiPrim, cette étude examine les modes d’utilisation privés des médias par des enfants suisses de 8 ans en ce qui concerne les différences socioéconomiques. Le type d’utilisation orienté vers l’apprentissage est fortement associé à un statut socioéconomique élevé, tout comme l’évitement quasi-total de toute utilisation des médias numériques.
