We have many researches about "influences of mass-communication upon children. These studies have taken, I think, a grave view of the forces of circumstance. Therefore, first, they found out the correlation between mass-communication and children, but not the causal relation; second they seemed to assume the 'direct' influences upon children through mass-media. To analyze the influences of mass-communication upon children we must distinguish pre-existing relations from after-effects brought about by mass-media, and set the intervening variables-e.g. the reference group or the interpersonal relations-between mass-media and children. Thus, according to the Katz and Lazarsfeld's assumption-'the two step flow of communication'-, I want to investigate two following social events, and to illustrate the relations about mass-communication, small group and children: 1) the participation by the senior high school students in the demonstration of the struggle against Revision of the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. 2) some of cants among the school children influenced through the catch-phrases, which were used by some of the comic talents of TV. From the first study, I clarify that some of the senior high-school students who regarded their family as their reference group seemed to take part in the demonstrations, and the others who regarded their friends as their reference group seemed not. From the second, I illustrate that the children set a high value on the comic talent's cants in their play group, but set a low value on the cants in their study group.
