Description

The media represent one of the most important and underrecognized influences on the development of children and adolescents. But how far does their influence actually extend? Do violent video games result in mass shootings? Does sexual content lead to earlier sexual intercourse? Are the media responsible for the current epidemic of child and adolescent obesity? This workshop will address these and many other current questions and controversies about media effects and young people.
