Breve descripción de The Media`s Impact on Children

Throughout this book, we have examined a number of ways in which children select, use, and are influenced by media messages. To be sure, some of these effects are positive while others are decidedly negative. We hope that the information provided in this book will serve as a useful tool for people who are in a position to make decisions about the types of media content to which a child should be exposed. In particular, the last chapter of this book summarizes the ways in which parents and caregivers, educators, and young media users themselves can make choices that increase the positive effects of the media while decreasing undesirable effects. It is our desire, therefore, that readers of this book are able to make informed decisions regarding children’s media use.

The Media`s Impact on Children obra de Emily Moyer & Gusé And Karyn Riddle

EMILY MOYER GUSÉ:
My research focuses on understanding how and why entertainment media influence individuals. I am also interested in how interactions with others, during or after TV exposure, can change the viewing experience and enhance positive and/or negative outcomes. Much of my research has focused on young people and developmental differences in media effects. For instance, I have conducted several studies on children’s emotional reactions to news and entertainment programming as well as age-related differences in parents’ use of coping strategies to alleviate their child’s TV news induced fears. My most recent research aims to explain the prosocial effects of entertainment television content. For example, I am currently looking at the effects of entertainment-education television on young adults’ risky sexual behavior and related discussions with others.

My teaching interests are very closely aligned with my research. I enjoy teaching classes on media effects, children and media, research methods, and others. In particular, I appreciate the fresh perspective that students often bring to the content. Overall, my approach to teaching focuses on helping students understand communication concepts, research, and theories in a way that is relevant to their everyday lives and careers.

When I’m not in the classroom or working on research I am a bit of a media junkie as well as a nature lover. I love movies, live music, and television and often come up with new research ideas while using media. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking in the mountains.

KARYN RIDDLE:
Karyn is an Assistant Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. She joined the department in the Fall of 2007.

Karyn received her undergraduate degree in Advertising with a minor in French from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana in 1996. After graduation, Karyn worked in the media planning department of DDB Chicago for 5 years. She planned and executed national advertising campaigns for clients such as Betty Crocker Desserts, Hamburger Helper, Golden Grahams, JCPenney, FTD Flowers, and Lands’ End. She also contributed to the media plan for a successful new business pitch for Dell computers. In 2001, Karyn left DDB Chicago and headed west to the University of California, Santa Barbara. She obtained her MA and PhD from the Department of Communication, focusing on the effects of exposure to media violence. During her time at UCSB, Karyn presented at numerous national and international conferences, receiving a top three student paper award from the Mass Communication Division of NCA in 2006. Her dissertation advanced a recent line of research attempting to provide a psychological explanation for the effects postulated by cultivation theory.
Currently, Karyn teaches classes related to her professional experience (e.g., Strategic Media Planning, Strategic Communication Campaigns) as well as classes related to her research interests (e.g., Mass Media and Youth, Effects of Mass Communication). One of her current research projects focuses on children’s fear responses to the mass media, with an emphasis on frightening images of violence and conflict in the broadcast news. She is also studying adults’ long-term memories for childhood exposure to violent and frightening entertainment media. Karyn is interested in understanding the differential effects of repeat exposure to mundane, sanitized violence versus exposure to one or a few highly memorable, vivid portrayals of graphic violence. She is also developing a scale for measuring long-term memories of everyday exposure to the mass media.
Karyn lives in Madison with her husband Mike and son Owen.
