Abstract	In a recent study of ethnic and non-ethnic adolescents and pre-adolescents and their families, particular observation was made of perceptions of values by children and their parents in favorite television series viewed over a period of six weeks. While values were seen as a potential discriminator between ethnic and non-ethnic people, other data were gathered to ascertain degree of ethnicity as a secondary goal. The comprehensive questionnaire administered to 63 respondents (parents, adolescents, and pre-adolescents) contained a lengthy section on language use, social activities, lifestyle, interests, and media habits and values to assess ethnicity characteristics and patterns. It was predicted that ethnic families maintain a strong ethnic identity while living in Canada and this would be reflected in measurable behaviors. A descriptive listing of programs selected by non-ethnic children, and an analysis of their choices by value orientation is provided. (JEG)
