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. Learner Objectives: This workshop will help participants
describe how much time children and adolescents spend with media and why media violence is the most concerning aspect of media influence;
describe how cyberbullying differs from in-person bullying;
describe how the media can affect a variety of health issues in children and adolescents, including obesity and sexual behavior;
assess several potential solutions to harmful media influence; and
consider current research that examines racial, cultural, and gender differences.
