Preferred term

media use in bedrooms  

Definition

  • The bedroom has long been a space in which children and adolescents both retreat and socialize, articulate maturity, and construct identity—and often all by negotiating the discourses of mass media. Whereas children may view their bedrooms as spaces for utility (to play, dress, and sleep, for example), adolescents treat their bedrooms both as safe havens from a world they are only beginning to negotiate as adults and as spaces in which they often have complete control over their surroundings and behaviors.
