Preferred term

media exposure  

Definition

  • A recent study published by the Kaiser Family Foundation reported that American youth between the ages of 8 and 18 spend about 6½ hours with media daily, nearly 4 hours of which is television use. Is this too much exposure? Thousands of studies have established that excessive media use, particularly when filled with depictions of sex, violence, and other deviant behaviors can skew certain youth's worldviews and increase the likelihood of risky behaviors.
