Preferred term

media and developmental differences  

Definition

  • Public debate about the potential consequences of children's exposure to mass media has been a frequent theme of social discourse ever since the advent of motion pictures. Does media exposure disrupt children's sleep? Does it foster poor academic performance? Does it inspire aggressive, if not delinquent, behavior? With the introduction of each subsequent new media technology, questions such as these have been common and recurrent.
