"The Handbook of Children, Media, and Development assembles the most accomplished researchers in the field and presents in-depth and theoretically driven analyses of the most important research advances. Essential as a text or reference for students, scholars, and policymakers, the handbook is understandable to undergraduates, but with depth and accuracy that scholars will appreciate." Joanne Cantor, Center for Communication Research, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Media use starts early, in the first year of life. Initial experiences are controlled by parents and caregivers, but increasingly give way to children's preferences as favorite programs and preferred modes of interaction emerge. The degree to which these experiences are a positive as well as a negative source of developmental change in the cognitive, social, and health areas is an ongoing intellectual debate with significant implications for today's society.
The Handbook of Children, Media, and Development brings together an interdisciplinary group of experts in the fields of developmental psychology, developmental science, communication, and medicine to provide an authoritative, comprehensive, up-to-date look at the empirical research on media and media policies within the field.
