The major findings indicated overall age differences in understanding across the four groups, particularly between 9-10- and 11-12-year-olds, and fewer differences…

Raikes, H. Abigail; Thompson, Ross A. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2005
The relation between maternal behavior and child attachment security is weaker among low SES samples, but it is unclear how stressors/risks associated with low SES alter the dynamics of attachment relationships. Results of this study of 63 low income mothers and their 24-36-month-old children indicated that the influence of multiple economic risks…

The aim of this study was to investigate the development of young children's brand awareness, and the relative influence of environmental factors (e.g., television, parents, peers) on brand awareness. We presented 196 two- to eight-year-olds with 12 brand logos. After exposure to these logos, we asked children to mention the brand name (brand…

Gross, E. F. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
As adolescent Internet use grew exponentially in the last decade, with it emerged a number of correspondent expectations. Among them were the following: (1) that gender predicts usage, i.e., that boys spend more time online, surfing the web and playing violent games, while girls chat or shop online; (2) that Internet use causes social isolation…

Subrahmanyam, K.; Greenfield, P. M.; Tynes, B. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
In this article, we propose that adolescents' online interactions are both a literal and a metaphoric screen for representing major adolescent developmental issues, such as sexuality and identity. Because of the public nature of Internet chat rooms, they provide an open window into the expression of adolescent concerns. Our study utilizes this…

Tynes, Brendesha; Reynolds, Lindsay; Greenfield, Patrick M. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
Scholars have argued that the Internet could bring about the realization of an electronic global village, with no race, gender, infirmities, or the social problems that often accompany these physical indicators of difference. In this study, we explored this issue by conducting content and discourse analyses of online conversations about race and…

Suzuki, L.K.; Calzo, J.P. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
The physical, emotional, and psychological changes that occur in adolescence prompt youths to have serious questions about their bodies, relationships, and health that are often personal, sensitive, or embarrassing. Past research has shown that adolescents are often reluctant to consult physicians, peers, and others for personal health questions…

Calvert, S.L.; Murray, K.J.; Conger, E.E. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
Viewing media aggression can be a risk factor for the long-term well being of viewers, and heroes have been targeted as a major risk factor in this relationship because they commit justified acts of aggression. However, little is known about the specific aspects of heroic conduct that viewers find worthy of emulation. We examined US and Taiwanese…

Vandewater, E.A.; Bickham, D.S. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
This study examined the impact of educational media use on young children's (ages 2-5) reading and pre-reading skills in the context of various family stressors (lack of economic resources, family conflict, and maternal depression). We examined the utility of models positing that family stressors directly predict the quality of the home learning…

O'Keefe, B.J.; Zehnder, S. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology: An International Lifespan Journal, 2004
The ongoing evolution of communications technologies and systems creates significant challenges for any effort to understand the role of media in the lives of children and adolescents. The dominant paradigm in studying the relationship between children and media has been one of media effects. However, we propose a reciprocal relationship in which…
