Media as agents of socialization

Abstract: Unlike Chip Douglas from the movie “Cable Guy,” most children are not raised exclusively by television, without support from parents, teachers and other caregivers. Nonetheless, media play an increasingly significant role as socializing agents in the lives of children and adolescents. Over the past ten years, media consumption among youth has grown steadily. There have been significant increases in time spent watching television, listening to music, playing video games, and using the Internet and cell phones (Jones & Fox, 2009; Harris Interactive, 2008; Rideout, Foehr & Roberts, 2010). Youth in the U.S. now use media for an average of 7 and a half hours a day (Rideout et al., 2010). The mass media explosion that began in the 1950s has dramatically changed the environment in which children are raised. Electronic media provide children with a variety of new learning opportunities and broaden the range of events children experience. Socialization is no longer constrained to the influences of family, peers and other people in children’s Prot, S., Anderson, C. A., Gentile, D. A., Warburton, W., Saleem, M., Groves, C.
