This text provides a survey of the relationship between children
and those mass media found in the home--radio, television, and the
Internet. Using a theory-based approach, with attention to
developmental, gender, ethnic, and generational differences, author
Rose M. Kundanis explores the nature of these relationships and
their influences on children and families, looking at the
experiences children have at various developmental ages and across
generations. She reviews children's own experiences with media and
examines the variety of effects that can operate due to children's
perceptions at different ages, including fear, aggression, and
sexuality. The text includes theory and research from mass
communication, developmental psychology, education, and other
areas, representing the broad spectrum of influences at work.
Features of this text include: *side-bar interviews with teens who
work in media and people who develop policy or programming for
children's media; *in-depth explanations of the Generational Theory
and the Developmental Theory as they apply to children and the
media, plus a survey of other applicable theories; *description of
the key points of the Children's Television Act of 1990, the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, and other relevant legislation; and
*questions and activities to extend the exploration of topics. This
text will help students develop a critical understanding of the
relationship of children and the media; the variables affecting and
influencing children's response to media; the theories that explain
and predict this relationship; and the ways in which children use
the media and can develop media literacy. It is appropriate for
courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level, including
children and media, media literacy, mass communication and society,
and media processes and effects, as well as special topics courses
in education, communication, and psychology.
