Concept information
Preferred term
impact of the media on school-age children
Definition
- According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, children between 8 and 18 years old are exposed to about 8½ hours of media daily, an increase of 1 hour from 1999. (Although school-age in this entry generally refers to children ages 6 to 12, the Kaiser Foundation study involved the broader age range.) Their exposure is actually packed into about 6½ hours a day, however, with the other hours accounted for by media multitasking, the use of several types of media simultaneously.
