Quick Introduction:
Children and the media.
Description:
My research and teaching focuses on the effects of media on children. My research on parental mediation explores how parent-child interaction (including parents' communication practices) shapes media effects among children. Most recently I have studied how the presence of TV compared with other forms of entertainment (books, toys) affects parents' interactions with their young children.
