This text provides comprehensive, research oriented background to the developmental impact of the varied interactions children and adolescents have with the modern media. The approach is grounded in the media effects tradition. The authors target areas most controversial and at the heart of debates about mass media and public health, thus equipping students to approach the media as critical consumers. Each chapter provides the latest research and seminal studies on such issues as advertising, violence, video games, sexuality, drugs, body image and eating disorders, music, and the Internet.
