Leitkultur and discourse hegemonies: German mainstream media coverage on the integration debate between 2009 and 2014
This study analyzes the mainstream media coverage on Germany’s integration debate between 2009 and 2014, while detecting main debate actors, topics, discourses, key events and their relations to one another. Media representations of Muslims, integration, immigration, multiculturalism and creation of otherness are scrutinized, considering different political alignments of mainstream newspapers. Furthermore, the Sarrazin debate is contextualized wi…
Sexting, Mobile Porn Use, and Peer Group Dynamics: Boys' and Girls' Self-Perceived Popularity, Need for Popularity, and Perceived Peer Pressure
There is considerable concern about adolescents producing, consuming, and distributing sexual materials via mobile phone communication. The purpose of this study was to examine key aspects of peer influence and the peer context in relation to two such practices: sexting and mobile porn use. The results of a high-school survey study (N = 1,943) revealed that 6% of Flemish teens (11–20 years of age) have sent a sext, while 9% use mobile porn. Teens…

Driving Game Playing as a Predictor of Adolescents’ Unlicensed Driving in Flanders
The purpose of the current study is to examine whether adolescents’ playing of racing and drive’em up games predicts unlicensed driving in Flanders. A longitudinal panel survey (2006, 2008) was executed among a sample of 1104 adolescent boys and girls (17-18 years old at baseline measurement) in the Flemish region of Belgium. Logistic regression analysis was used in order to examine whether driving game playing predicts self-reported unlicensed d…
Measuring mobile phone use: Gender, age and real usage level in relation to the accuracy and validity of self-reported mobile phone use
This article reports the results of a mobile phone use validation survey in which we compared self-reported mobile phone use to network provider data, and examined the observed discrepancies between both data sources in a convenience sample of 466 Flemish mobile phone users (18–65 years). The results showed significant discrepancies between self-reported and behavioral mobile phone use, particularly for the number and duration of mobile calls. Li…

New Life, Old Friends: A Cross-cultural Comparison of the Use of Communication Technologies in the Social Life of College Freshmen
Communication technologies make it possible for college freshmen to maintain their pre-college relationships, while at the same time building new relationships on campus. For American freshmen the transition to college is generally considered as a major change that involves distancing oneself from family and pre-college friends, while for Flemish freshmen the transition to college appears to be a more gradual process. Consequently, American fresh…
The Impact of Adolescents' News and Action Movie Viewing on Risky Driving Behavior: A Longitudinal Study
Traffic crashes remain an important cause of injury and death among young people. The aim of the current study was to examine whether adolescents' viewing of particular television genres predicted later risky driving. Data were collected with a two-wave panel survey (N = 426); structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationships between television viewing and self-reported risky driving. Theoretically, the study was framed within cu…
Can buy me love: Mate attraction goals lead to perceptual readiness for status products
Exposure to mating cues activates the goal to signal one's mate value to members of the opposite sex. This mate attraction goal may render men perceptually ready for products that signal their mate value to women. As men's mate value is partly determined by their financial prospects, men may be more likely to notice products that would signal their financial resources to women. The current study demonstrates that exposure to a sexily dressed woma…

Children and Computer Games: A Profile of the Heavy User
The manifest popularity of computer games for many children has led to speculation about the meaning and effects of their use. However, research has yet to provide an adequate picture of the social characteristics of computer game players. This article, based on a large-scale study of Flemish 10- to 11-year-olds, is intended to sketch a profile of the computer game heavy user. The results indicate that heavy use of computer games is associated wi…
Weather to View or Not: That is the Question
While seasonal variations in television viewing are well documented, the hypothesis that variations in the weather within seasons may be significantly related to television viewing has seldom been tested. This study relates the official daily meteorological data for Flanders with data on the frequency and density of television viewing. The results provide substantial support for a specific weather effect. They suggest that, under normal condition…

Delivering the Young Audience to Advertisers: Music Television and Flemish Youth
Consciously based on a new concept of television and the viewer, MTV, The Music Television Channel, is now a significant factor on the European media scene. MTV claims to be able to deliver the young audience to advertisers on a global basis. However, since comparatively little research has so far been done into MTV's European audience, it is difficult to adjudicate this claim. Results from a survey of 789 Flemish adolescents are reported which i…
Different Destinies — Different Melodies: School Achievement, Anticipated Status and Adolescents' Tastes in Music
The concept of anticipatory socialization has been under-utilized in communication research. Combining the Uses and Gratifications approach with the theories of Bourdieu and Passeron it is argued that, during adolescence, media use is related to the anticipated future as well as to the past. A theoretical model postulating school achievement, school satisfaction and anticipated school future as significant mediating factors in adolescents' tastes…
Music video use and educational achievement: A Swedish study
Almost since their inception film and television have employed music as background accompaniment. Despite this obvious fact, the significance of such musical accompaniment has been underestimated by most researchers (see Tagg 1979). The contemporary conjunction of video technology, communication satellites and cable-TV has created a media environment in which television featuring music videos has thrived, and in which media researchers are no lon…

Levels of diffusion of home electronic appliances and patterns of use of newspapers, radio, broadcast television, Teletext, VCRs, cable TV and satellite TV are presented, as well as for personal computers. The chances of survival for some form of `pu…
