Abstract

Pepe, which is a cartoon watched in Turkey between the ages of 2 and 7, is analyzed in this study. The 26 observers have observed how this cartoon influences the children who watch it regularly. Moreover, a researcher has evaluated the messages given by the cartoon, watching 40 episodes. The influence of the messages of the cartoon Pepe on the children between the ages of 2 and 7 are evaluated in the light of the data attained from the theories in the field of learning and development: Albert Bandura's theory, Piaget's theory, Skinner's theory. In accordance with those evaluations, it is determined that the cartoon Pepe contains cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally positive and negative messages for the age group of 2-7. It is seen that this cartoon involves positive messages in many episodes not only for children but also for the adults who are in charge of rearing children. It is considered appropriate that parents watch the 30-minute episodes that bear positive messages, together with their children twice a day, and they give explanations when children need them.
