Parent–child interaction is important for children to learn from the media. In this study, we examined how parent–child conversations about mental states differ for various types of media. To do so, we collected questionnaire data from parents of 71 preschool children on the daily exposure to different types of media (movies, TV shows, books, audiobooks) alone and together with their parents. We also asked parents about the frequency of parent–child conversations about characters’ emotions, cognitions, and social behavior during or after media exposure. Results indicate that books and TV shows were often consumed by children alone as well as together with their parents. In contrast, movies were mostly watched together with parents, whereas audiobooks were often listened to by the child alone. Parent–child conversations about mental states occurred more frequently when children and parents used media together than when consumed alone, with most parent–child talk occurring during shared book reading.
