{"title":"Systematic review: Characteristics and outcomes of in-school digital media literacy interventions, 2010-2021","authors":"Keren Eyal, Tali Te'eni-Harari","doi":"10.1080/17482798.2023.2265510","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17482798.2023.2265510","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis systematic review examines characteristics and outcomes of interventions for teaching digital media literacy in the educational system. Despite the development of media technology and the importance ascribed to digital media literacy as one of the critical skills for the 21st century, this study reveals that little research has been carried out evaluating interventions for teaching digital media literacy in schools. The successful intervention outcomes identified in this review include an increased understanding of media content and greater awareness of media influence, a more critical approach to media, increases in feelings of competency and empowerment with regard to media use, increases in digital media content production skills, and reduction in excessive or risky media use. The review finds that more consistent positive outcomes were associated with younger target audiences, the incorporation of a practical component within the intervention, and the extended duration or higher number of sessions of intervention administration. The studies reviewed identified some challenges to achieving successful outcomes in such interventions, namely that media technologies are an intrinsic part of children’s everyday lives today.Impact SummaryPrior State of Knowledge Digital media literacy – the critical handling of digital media from traditional to newer digital media – is an essential skill for the 21st Century. Little prior research has summarized knowledge about the outcomes of digital media literacy interventions.Novel Contributions This systematic review summarizes recent academic knowledge about in-school digital media literacy interventions. It identifies three important intervention characteristics associated with diverse intervention outcomes, including understanding of, a critical approach toward, and creation of media content.Practical Implications The study highlights characteristics of digital media literacy interventions to which practitioners – educators and academics creating and implementing such interventions – should pay careful attention to enhance the success of the interventions in achieving their goals.KEYWORDS: Systematic reviewdigital media literacyinterventionseducational systemcritical thinking AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by a grant by the Israeli Ministry of Education.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Ministry of Education, Israel.Notes on contributorsKeren EyalKeren Eyal (Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara, 2004) is Senior Lecturer in the Sammy Ofer School of Communications in Reichman University.

It employs thematic analysis to analyse eight focus group discussions (N = 38) with adolescents (13–16 years) in Finland’s capital region. The study advances research on adolescents’ knowledge of the data gathered for online profiling by highlighting that adolescents infer that apart from previous online activities, data on their verbal conversations also inform targeted advertisements. The study also advances research on adolescents’ perspectives on online targeted advertisements by identifying that adolescents’ privacy expectations in the context of targeted advertisements are that data should not be collected without their awareness and commercial entities should not use data on previous conversations for profiling. This study also pinpoints that online profiling gives some adolescents a privacy-invasive feeling of being observed, and others have a boundary until which they consider online data collection for profiling permissible. Moreover, some adolescents express ambivalent views on online targeted advertisements. The findings reflect some adolescents’ acceptance of online profiling and knowledge gaps that can inform media literacy educators. The findings raise concerns about the opacity of online commercial data-gathering practices. Therefore, we urge corporations to demystify their data collection processes.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135901098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While satisfying important needs among parents, sharenting poses privacy risks to children and may interfere with children’s autonomy in constructing their own online identity. Drawing on the concept of psychological ownership in organizational psychology and applying it to the Communication Privacy Management (CPM) framework, this study examines the interrelationships among parents’ psychological ownership of their children’s private information, their motivations for sharenting, and the frequency and types of sharenting behaviors they engage in. An online survey was administered to 429 parents who reported having ever shared private information about their underage children on social media. Based on previous research, two potential dimensions of psychological ownership (possession and responsibility) were proposed and their relationships with each other and with sharenting behavior and motivations were examined. The findings showed a modest correlation between possession and responsibility. Both demonstrated significant relationships with sharenting behavior and motivations, but not always in the same direction. The findings suggest value of adding psychological ownership to the CPM framework. Practical implications for parents, educators, and advocates are discussed.Impact SummaryPrior state of knowledge: Parents are actively sharing private information about their children on social media (sharenting). It poses risks to children’s privacy and interferes with children’s construction of their own identity.Novel contributions: This is the first study to apply the concept of psychological ownership in organizational psychology to the communication privacy management theory (CPM). This advances both the CPM theory and understanding of the sharenting behavior.Practical implications: The findings have practical implications for parents, educators, and advocates who are concerned about children’s identity and privacy online. Greater efforts should be dedicated to educating parents about being good stewards of their children’s private information online.KEYWORDS: Sharentingcommunication privacy management theorypsychological ownershipchildrenprivacy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Additional informationNotes on contributorsXiaomei CaiXiaomei Cai, (Ph.D., Indiana University) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at George Mason University in the United States.

We also evaluated the potential mediating role of social media addiction in the relationship between social media use motives and psychological distress in vulnerable social media users, i.e., early adolescents. Our sample consisted of 480 middle-school Romanian students (M = 12.03, SD = .78, 52.3% females). The results suggested that social relationships, mood regulation, and anti-mattering motives were positively associated with social media addiction, and that social media addiction was positively related to psychological distress. Anti-mattering and mood regulation were positively associated with psychological distress. Furthermore, social media addiction mediated the relations between the motives for social media use and psychological distress. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the findings for knowledge, prevention, and interventions regarding social media addiction among early adolescents.IMPACT SUMMARYPrior State of Knowledge The functionalist theoretical perspective states that social media addiction might be explained by underlying motives. Previous studies also highlight the necessity to explore the relation between these motives, social media addiction, and psychological distress among youth.Novel Contributions We tested an extended functionalist perspective of social media addiction and explored the potential mediating role of social media addiction on the relationship between social media use motives (conformity, social relationships, mood regulation, anti-mattering) and adolescents’ psychological distress.Practical Implications Our results are helpful for interventions concerning social media addiction among adolescents. Knowing the motives that are related to social media addiction might help in the design of effective, targeted, parental and educational interventions to prevent adolescents’ social media addiction and psychological distress.KEYWORDS: Social mediamotives for social media useaddictionadolescentsdistress AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by a grant of the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research, CNCS - UEFISCDI, project number PN-III-P4-ID-PCE-2020-2963, within PNCDI III.Disclosure statementThe authors declare no financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered potential competing interests.Authors’ contributionBoth authors equally contributed to the present paper.Ethics statementThis study’s protocol was designed in concordance with ethical requirements specific to the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, `Alexandru Ioan Cuza` University (Iasi, Romania), before beginning the s","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study assesses associations between the screen time of 12–17-month-old children and their mothers’ characteristics. Using data from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study (JECS), we analyzed 86,938 singletons whose primary caregivers were their mothers. Screen time was defined as time that mothers allowed their children to watch TV, DVDs, and/or other media, categorized into two groups, “less-than-4-hours” and “4-hours-or-more per day.” The independent variables were children’s sex, mothers’ age, educational attainment, media usage, employment status, frequency of outings, and the existence of caregivers other than the mother. We considered additional factors including scores on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale ;(K6) and Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale, Japanese version (MIBS-J). Ninety percent of one-year-olds viewed media content. A multivariate regression analysis revealed that the mother’s media usage was the strongest predictor that a one-year-old would have long screen time (&gt;4 hours/day). A mother’s higher educational attainment and employment status predicted a decreased likelihood of a child’s long screen time. MIBS-J (anger and rejection and impaired bonding) showed very a slight association, and the child’s sex, mother’s age, and K6 had no association with the child’s screen-time.Impact summaryPrior State of Knowledge: International guidelines recommend no screen time for one-year-olds. However, Japanese studies have reported that one-year-olds have the longest screen time among preschoolers. Systematic reviews have indicated that a child’s characteristics, family and social context, or ethnicity are factors that influence a child’s screen time.Novel Contributions: This large-scale, Japanese survey targeting only one-year-olds contributes to knowledge of the possible predictors of children’s long screen time. Some findings were similar to previous studies, and some were different. The results differed greatly from international recommendations for the screen time for one-year-olds.Practical Implications: The findings indicate the need for policymakers to develop practical guidelines for promoting rather than prohibiting behavioral changes in the screen time of children. They also suggest the possibility for mothers to reduce the screen time of their children by controlling their own media exposure.KEYWORDS: InfantsJapan environment and children’s study (JECS)maternal psychological distressmedia usemother–infant bondingpreschoolscreen timescreen viewtelevisionJapan AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank all the participants who took time to complete the questionnaire during the years of this national cohort study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Availability of data and materialsData are unsuitable for public distribution due to ethical restriction","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon 30 think-aloud interviews with parents raising children aged 0 to 18 in England, in this paper, I pay attention to parents’ understandings of and consequent approaches to platform algorithms in relation to their children’s lives. I locate this work within user-centric research on people’s understandings of algorithms, and research about parents’ perspectives on data and datafication in relation to sharenting. Through my data, I draw out four modes – misunderstandings, parked understandings, transactional understandings and pro-active understandings. I suggest that parents’ often flawed understandings of their children’s myriad interfaces with algorithms deserve scrutiny not through a lens of blame or individualised parental (ir) responsibility but within cross-cutting contexts of parenting cultures and families’ diverse contextual resources and restraints. I conclude by highlighting attention to parents’ approaches to algorithms in children’s lives as critical to parents’ data and algorithm literacies. IMPACT SUMMARY Prior State of Knowledge: Parents in diverse contexts try to understand and support their children’s digital lives, and also often share content about their children on a variety of platforms. Prior research has shed significant light on the datafication of childhood. Novel Contributions: This study investigates parents’ diverse understandings of algorithms underlying social media platforms and the ways in which they approach algorithms in their children’s lives. Practical Implications: Parents’ knowledge about algorithms and datafication is uneven. Policymakers need to better support adult media literacies, including data and algorithm literacies. Schools’ communication to families and carers could also become key vehicles to raise awareness about datafication.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45117191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
