Preferred term

impact of media on peer groups  

Definition

  • How do the media contribute to young people's relations with their peers? This entry addresses this simple but important question, focusing on a general psychological process that can be observed across different media. Although much previous research and political debate have focused on the media's supposed negative influence on young people, recent research has started to document some of the more positive developmental outcomes of media involvement.
