culture the learned behavior, including knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, law, customs, skills, and traditions, that is characteristic of the social environment in which an individual grows up
Chronosystem Influences
chronosystem influences on media involve not only technological changes, such as the improved quality of digitized media, the ability to record TV shows, and computer capacity for streaming, but content changes as well.
Macrosystem Influences
The mass communication system in the united states is generally characterized by private ownership and dedicated to corporate profits (this does not, of course, apply to public TV). The broadcast media are subject to regulation by the Federal communications commission (Fcc) and the Federal Trade commission (FTc).
Children and Screen Media: Television and Movies (Videos, DVDs)
advances in television broadcasting have created changes in the sleep habits, meal arrangements, use of leisure time, and conversation patterns of millions of u.s. families
mass communications have also created changes in our culture. new products advertised via television, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet can be adopted in a very short time.
Screen Media and Socialization: Concerns
Watching TV and movies impacts (1) socioemotional development and relationships, (2) physical development and health, (3) psychological development and behavior, (4) cognitive development and achievement, and (5) moral development and values.
Mesosystem Influences on Screen Media
influences on television and movies consist of linkages with the community, the school, the peer group, and the family. These linkages affect the pervasiveness of media exposure, types of media and messages experienced, adult mediation, and the impact of socialization outcomes.
Children and Audio Media:
“Pop” music usually refers to rock, but other types of music, such as hip-hop, r&B, and alternative, which may go in and out of vogue, also have a socializing effect. Popular music is an example of how the tastes and preferences of young people have fueled the billion-dollar music industry
Children and Print Media: Books and Magazines
print media describe in words the images of the writer. These words must then be translated into visual images by the reader. Obviously, reading is much more personal than is television viewing, because the visual images readers conjure up from printed words depend on their vocabulary, reading ability, and real-life experiences.
children’s and adolescents’ exposure to print media is influenced by the socioeconomic status of the family and the educational level of the parents—more income means more resources for printed material; greater education means a higher value placed on books and reading.
