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).
