The Impact of Background Radio and Television on High School Students' Homework Performance
This study examined the impact of background media on students' performance and time spent on two types of homework assignments: paper-and-pencil and memorization assignments. Eighth-grade students (N = 160) did the assignments with either (a) a soap opera, (b) music videos, (c) radio music, or (d) no medium in the background. Results indicated that doing homework combined with watching a soap opera interfered with students' performance on both t…
Young People's Ownership and Uses of New and Old Forms of Media in Britain and the Netherlands
Using data obtained in a national survey carried out in Britain ( N = 1309) and the Netherlands ( N = 1355), this article compares British and Dutch children and young people aged 6-17 with respect to: (1) the availability of different media in children's homes, and particularly in the children's own room; (2) the amount of time spent on different media; and (3) the gratifications associated with the use of different types of media. Attention is …

Television's Impact on Children's Reading Comprehension and Decoding Skills
S Using a sample of 1,050 Dutch elementary school children who were in Grades 2 and 4 at the outset of the research, this study explored (a) the longitudinal effects of television viewing on children's reading comprehension, (b) the causal mechanisms that underlie television's longitudinal effects on reading comprehension, and (c) the longitudinal effects of television viewing on children's decoding skills. The children were surveyed three times,…

Influence of TV on daydreaming and creative imagination
Influence of TV on daydreaming and creative imagination
The research literature is reviewed on the influence of TV on daydreaming and creative imagination. The hypotheses proposed to explain why TV might influence children's and adults' daydreaming and creative imagination positively (stimulation hypothesis) or negatively (reduction hypothesis) are discussed. The hypotheses that propose that existing daydreaming patterns result in changes in viewing behavior are also discussed. The weight of the avail…

Television and Young People's Reading Behaviour
On the basis of the available research evidence this article examines whether television induces young people to read less and to develop a preference for qualitatively inferior reading material. Several hypotheses proposing mechanisms by which television is supposed to stimulate or reduce reading are discussed. The findings are inconclusive but most studies suggest that television reduces the amount of reading. Young people's reading preferences…
Television's Impact on Children's Reading Skills
THE AUTHORS discuss the hypotheses that explain why television might influence the child's development of reading skills positively (facilitation hypothesis), negatively (inhibition hypothesis), or not at all (no-effect hypothesis). Although the evidence is not unequivocal, most of the research supports the inhibition hypothesis. However, television's relation to reading achievement is complex; the magnitude and direction of the relation are infl…
