Youth around the world are fittingly described as digital natives
because of their comfort and skill with technological hardware and
content. Recent studies indicate that an overwhelming majority of
children and teenagers use the Internet, cell phones, and other
mobile devices. Equipped with familiarity and unprecedented access,
it is no wonder that adolescents consume, create, and share copious
amounts of content. But is there a cost? Digital Youth: The Role of
Media in Development recognizes the important role of digital tools
in the lives of teenagers and presents both the risks and benefits
of these new interactive technologies. From social networking to
instant messaging to text messaging, the authors create an
informative and relevant guidebook that goes beyond description to
include developmental theory and implications. Also woven
throughout the book is an international sensitivity and
understanding that clarifies how, despite the widespread popularity
of digital communication, technology use varies between groups
globally. Other specific topics addressed include: Sexuality on the
Internet. Online identity and self-presentation. Morality, ethics,
and civic engagement. Technology and health. Violence,
cyberbullying, and victimization. Excessive Internet use and
addictive behavior. This comprehensive volume is a must-have
reference for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students across
such disciplines as developmental/clinical child/school psychology,
social psychology, media psychology, medical and allied health
professions, education, and social work.
