Abstract

In Study 1, the media capacity literacy scale for junior high school students was developed and its reliability and validity was examined in boys (n=321) and girls (n=270) in grades seven through nine that participated in the study. Principal component analysis indicated that the media capacity literacy had a single factor structure consisting of eleven items, and that the scale had high reliability and validity. In Study 2, logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the capacity of media and risk behaviors such as drinking, smoking, and violence in junior high school students. The results indicated that the capacity of media significantly influenced smoking behavior, although drinking and violent behaviors were not related to the capacity of media in adolescents. It is concluded that this study provided preliminary evidence of the relationship between the capacity of media and smoking behavior.
