Bonus, Judy Watts, Daniel Stemen","doi":"10.1080/17482798.2021.2022943","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17482798.2021.2022943","url":null,"abstract":"Parents are an essential component of research conducted in the field of children, adolescents, and media (CAM). Not only do they determine whether their children will be allowed to participate in research studies, but they also frequently serve as research participants themselves. One prominent thread of CAM research has investigated how parents shape their children’s understanding of educational media. For example, Rasmussen et al. (2016) recruited parents and their 2to 6-year-old children to watch ten episodes of the socioemotional program Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood (DTN) over two weeks. They found that children who watched the program demonstrated higher empathy at the end of the study, but only when parents regularly elaborated on educational TV programs at home. In a related study, Mares, Bonus, and Peebles (2018) asked parents of 2to 10-year-old children to recall an instance where media exposure had a positive impact on their child. Most parents (70%) were able to recall an instance. However, longer-lasting effects were reported by parents who discussed the content with their children at some point after exposure (e.g. encouraged their child to put those lessons into practice). Typically, CAM scholars interpret these results to mean that children need help connecting lessons to relevant experiences in their everyday lives. Although this view is wellsupported by research, there is an alternative (albeit compatible) way of understanding these findings. Specifically, it could be that the parents in these studies learned useful instructional techniques from educational television, which they later practiced with their children. For example, Mares et al. (2018) detailed one mother who used a song from DTN to manage the frustration that her daughter felt when exiting a toy store (presumably, without purchasing any toys): “I’ll say, ‘When you get so mad that you want to roar . . .’, She [my daughter] will say, ‘ . . . Take a deep breath and count to four – one, two three, four!’” Undoubtedly, this example demonstrates how a child might practice an angermanagement strategy that she gleaned from educational television (i.e. counting to four). However, this example simultaneously demonstrates how a mother might practice an instructional technique that she gleaned from the same program (i.e. assisting her daughter with emotion regulation). Considered under this alternative lens, this example seems especially noteworthy. Indeed, it was the mother who first used the technique modeled in the program, whereas the daughter simply followed suit. In other words, the mother’s learning facilitated the daughter’s learning.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"16 1","pages":"144 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46670151","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}

Relying on Q methodology and semi-structured individual interviews with 8- to 13-year-old Estonian pre-teens (n = 20) who were aware of parental tracking, we will present perspectives for understanding children’s viewpoints on intimate surveillance. Three participant perspectives emerged: Compliant Child, Autonomous Child, and Privacy-Sensitive Child. Although children in our sample viewed parents as their confidants and did not consider such tracking to breach their privacy boundaries, they expected these boundaries to be negotiated and collectively set within a family. IMPACT SUMMARY Prior State of Knowledge: Intimate surveillance of children has become a normalized part of present-day parenting practices. The use of tracking technologies can limit children’s experiences and have negative consequences for children’s privacy as well as parent-child relations. Novel Contributions: Empirical research on tracking technologies seldom focuses on the opinions and experiences of tracking technology users, nor on the views children have of these practices. The current study does both, using Q methodology as a novel means for capturing children’s subjective perspectives. Practical Implications: Our findings have implications for parents considering use of tracking technologies, encouraging a move toward a family climate more supportive of child autonomy.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"16 1","pages":"424 - 440"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45805201","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}

Facebook has the most users on social network site. This study aimed to 1)investigate the type of personal information that adolescents frequently display online 2)identify how adolescents manage their privacy settings on Facebook and 3)examine parents’ intervention on adolescents’ online lives. A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey participants aged 13to18 years old from 6 high schools across Thailand. The study recruited 1,242 adolescents (mean15.7 years,SD = 1.6). Most of adolescents allowed everyone to access their profiles. They shared information including real name (78.7%), phone number (22.7%), birthdate (82.5%), city of residence (62.2%), photo (64.5%), national ID number (2.3%), and credit card number (1%). The older group had more reputation management than the younger group. Parental control and guidance were significantly found in the older group than in the younger group. Different from studies in western countries, most Thai adolescents display their personal information on Facebook. Most adolescents reported that their parents have discussed online privacy and safety with them. However, they still choose to disclose a lot of information. Appropriate parental guidance and control might improve Thai adolescents’ privacy practices. IMPACT SUMMARY Prior State of Knowledge: Adolescents are at risk of oversharing and disclosing their personal information online. In western countries, adolescents discuss with their parents how to be safe on the internet. Approximately 60% of teen Facebook users in US keep their profiles private. Novel Contributions: The majority of Thai adolescents Facebook users shared of their profile publicly. This oversharing behavior may be resulted from cultures norms that Asian people may feel more comfortable than those in the West when mentioning private topics. Practical Implications: Appropriate parental guidance about teens’ online privacy issues should be emphasized in Thailand. Moreover, national recommendation regarding adolescents’ online safety should be considered.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"16 1","pages":"406 - 414"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44794987","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}

Using the same sampling procedures and codebook as the original National Television Violence Study, we coded 765 primetime television programs airing on 21 broadcast and cable networks during the 2016/2017 season. We then separated children’s programs from nonchildren’s programs to compare violence by amount and context. Results indicate that programs targeted to youth continue to be more violent than programs made for adults, but the percentage of such programs was slightly lower than what was reported twenty years ago. Once again, violence in children’s programs is just as likely to be glamorized as shows for adults but continues to be more sanitized and trivialized. Implications for children’s learning of aggression are discussed. IMPACT SUMMARY Prior State of Knowledge: The landmark National Television Violence Studies (NTVS) found that violence is more prevalent in programs targeted to children. NTVS also found that violence in children’s programs was more likely to be sanitized and trivialized, increasing the risk of children’s learning of aggression. Novel Contributions: The study provides an important update to the media violence literature, and demonstrates that violence in children’s primetime television has not changed in any meaningful way in the last twenty years. Practical Implications: The patterns observed here heighten the risk of viewers learning of aggression and becoming desensitized to such portrayals. Future research should consider the intentions of those in the industry to better understand why violence remains a staple of children’s programming.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"16 1","pages":"368 - 386"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47372290","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}

A total of 136 primary caregivers of infants between 12 to 40 months of age (M= 26.34, SD = 7.55) were evaluated. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, a reading comprehension test, a literacy practices and beliefs survey and the CDI (McArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventory) part II (words and sentences). In addition, children’s daycare attendance was considered. After controlling for age, gender, parent’s education level and daycare attendance, positive attitudes towards literacy and frequency of PC use contributed to CDI vocabulary scores, while shared reading frequency was associated with CDI syntax scores. These results indicate that both parent-child shared reading and PC use provide a context for verbal interaction and joint attention that stimulates language development. Impact Summary Prior State of Knowledge: There are contradictory results about the relations between home literacy, screen media exposure and language development during the first years of life. Also, most of this research has been conducted in WEIRD countries. Novel Contributions: Parents attitudes about reading and shared reading were more important in explaining language development than books quantity, caregiver’s reading comprehension and self-reading practices. Regarding screen exposure, only frequency of PC use was a significant predictor of children’s vocabulary scores.

Given the proliferation of fake news and that adolescents are new (or soon-to-be) voters, important issues arise for democratic processes. This study is the first to investigate Romanian adolescents’ self-perceived ability to evaluate the credibility of the news in their media diet. Drawing on a national survey (N = 1,221) of 12th-grade Romanian students (aged 17–18), we found a significant third-person effect in young people’s self-reported ability to detect fake news. This effect is stronger when people compare themselves to distant others than close others. We also found that the most important predictors of this third-person effect are gender, openness to multiculturalism, and lifelong learning, with family education and confirmation bias being non-significant predictors. IMPACT SUMMARY Prior State of Knowledge: Prior studies show that although adolescents are increasingly aware of the prevalence of fake news, they have difficulty assessing news accuracy. Less is known about how adolescents perceive their capabilities to assess accuracy as compared with their friends and family or with other people in general. Novel Contributions: Romanian adolescents exhibit a strong third-person effect, meaning that they consider themselves more capable of identifying false information than peers in their inner and outer circles. The prevalence of this perception raises serious concerns about their ability to be well-informed participants in the democratic process. Practical Implications: Romanian policymakers should introduce media literacy into high school curricula to develop students’ abilities to assess news accuracy, fact check information, and be better prepared to enter adulthood as informed citizens.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"16 1","pages":"387 - 405"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42403804","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}

{"title":"“Consent Is Sexy”: exploring the portrayal of prosocial sexuality messages in youth-oriented series","authors":"Chelly Maes, Laura Vandenbosch","doi":"10.1080/17482798.2021.1982741","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17482798.2021.1982741","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Content analyses on sexual messages in youth-oriented series have traditionally focused on the distribution of negative or antisocial sexual messages. As such, the potential of youth-oriented series to promote prosocial sexual messages (PSM) has been neglected. Grounded in the 3AM model, this content analysis fills this gap in the literature by examining the occurrence of PSM in youth-oriented series (e.g. Elite) on Netflix. A total of 126 characters (52% male, 48% female) and 3,151 scenes in 65 episodes were coded. The results indicate that PSM were promoted 4 times per episode (i.e. average length was 36 minutes) and were distributed by more than half of the characters. PSM also significantly co-occurred with antisocial sexual messages (ASM) in scenes, suggesting that sexual messages may operate as a “mixed” socialization agent for adolescents’ sexuality development. Further, characters in comedies and non-heterosexual characters more often distributed PSM than respectively characters in dramas and heterosexual characters. The promotion of PSM did not vary by characters’ gender. Implications of these findings in terms of audience effects and suggestions for future research are further discussed. IMPACT SUMMARY Prior State of Knowledge: While negative sexual messages in youth-oriented television series have been studied extensively, little is known about these television series’ potential to promote positive sexual messages. Novel Contributions: This content analysis addresses this gap in the literature. Positive sexual messages are frequently promoted in youth-oriented television series and co-occur with negative sexual messages. Also, they challenge the heterosexual script. Practical Implications: For parents and practitioners who view television as a tool for learning about sexuality, these results suggest that negative and positive sexual messages in television series co-occur. Providing explanations of these messages may be relevant for young viewers.","PeriodicalId":46908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"16 1","pages":"332 - 351"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41407490","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}
