Mother's concern for good  and correct media literacy for early childhood is very important. This attitude can also be analyzed for high and low levels and sought for differences if seen from geosocial factors. Researchers examined mothers based on significant differences between villages and cities in Malang. The research method used is comparative quantitative research. The comparative test in this study used the Independent T-Test which calculations using Microsoft Excel 2010 for Windows 10. The results of a comparative test with a total of 80 samples showed the conclusion that the level of maternal concern for AUD media literacy was not influenced by geosocial. But there are differences in the percentage of each aspect of the caring factor that needs to be considered, namely the highest percentage is in the aspect of understanding while the habituation aspect becomes the lowest aspect of the percentage. Although not influenced by geosocial factors, this can be one of the new problems for other researchers to further examine the causes and solutions of the inconsistencies between aspects of understanding and habituation in the attitude of maternal care for media literacy in early childhood.Kepedulian ibu dalam literasi media yang baik dan benar bagi anak usia dini adalah sangat penting. Sikap ini juga dapat dianalisis tingkat tinggi rendahnya serta dicari perbedaannya jika dilihat dari faktor geososial. Peneliti meneliti para ibu berdasarkan perbedaan signifikan antara desa dan kota di Malang. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif komparatif. Uji komparasi dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Independent T-Test yang penghitungannya menggunakan Microsoft Excel 2010 for Windows 10. Hasil dari uji komparasi dengan total 80 sampel menunjukkan kesimpulan bahwa tingkat kepedulian ibu terhadap literasi media AUD tidak dipengaruhi oleh geososial. Namun terdapat perbedaan persentase pada setiap aspek dari faktor kepedulian yang perlu diperhatikan yaitu persentase tertinggi ada pada aspek pemahaman sedangkan aspek pembiasaan menjadi aspek yang terendah persentasenya. Meskipun tidak dipengaruhi oleh faktor geososial, hal ini dapat menjadi salah satu permasalahan baru bagi peneliti lain untuk diteliti lebih lanjut penyebab maupun solusi dari ketidaksinkronan antara aspek pemahaman dengan pembiasaan dalam sikap kepedulian ibu terhadap literasi media anak usia dini.

Objective: The breastfeeding is highly promoted by the health professionals. However in the first months, in order to be successful, woman has to breastfeed as often as the newborn wants. With this the production of milk is assured. If woman does not want to be socially isolated, she has to breastfeed also in public. However this can still be a taboo and young mothers often feel marginalised. The goal of the study was to estimate the tolerance regarding the breastfeeding in public by Slovenians. Design and Method: The quantitative research method was adopted. The research tool was questionnaire. The link of the online survey was sent to some participants, who were asked to distribute the questionnaire (snow ball sample). The questionnaire was composed of close-ended questions with Likert scale in order to gather participants’ attitudes regarding the breastfeeding in public. The online survey was chosen since it provided confidentiality to the respondents. Results: For 3% of participants the breastfeeding in public is not acceptable by any condition. 25% thinks that it is acceptable but only if the breasts are covered. There were distinguishable differences in the answers of women, their partners and other participants. Conclusions: Despite the presumption that our society exceeded the prejudices regarding the breastfeeding in public, the results of the study show that this is still a taboo in the modern society. Probably because the women’s’ breasts are a strong sex symbol. This symbolic level is hardly vanquished, even with the argument of care for the baby.

Calculating the research results especially for social science research is quite difficult. This is because the results of social science research is different from scientific research which commonly give direct effect toward treatment. In mapping the social science results for example the effect of experimental method on students’ insight is using qualitative research method in analyzing. In this article, we gave sample research in analyzing mean, median, and modus. However, we use the manual technique because we exercise the expert skill in counting the mathematic number. Furthermore, to expand and give a validresult on social science research, we suggest to use computational applications such SPSS and Microsoft Excel. In the end, we declare that there are more complexity in conducting social science research, meanwhile researchers can use some applications in analyzing the result and conclude it.
