Early Exposures to Ecogenomics: Effects of Priming and Web Site Interactivity Among Adolescents
In the context of public introductions to emerging technologies, this study examined effects of priming and Web site interactivity on adolescents’ attitude development and information processing. In a four (priming) by three (interactivity levels) experiment, participants ( N = 273) were required to search for and process Web-based information about ecogenomics. Results showed that priming ecogenomics as biotechnology, ecology, economy, or scienc…
Adolescent responses toward a new technology: First associations, information seeking and affective responses to ecogenomics
This paper reports on an exploratory study among adolescents ( N = 752) who were introduced to the emerging technology of ecogenomics for the first time. An online survey focused on their associations with the term ecogenomics, their planned information seeking behaviors if they were to acquire information about the new technology, and their first affective responses toward ecogenomics after having read some introductory information about it. Ado…
The Development of an Instrument To Determine Different Levels of Interactivity
Many researchers suggest that communication is most effective if a high level of interactivity between participants is involved. As yet, however, there is neither consensus on how interactivity is defined, nor on how it can be measured. The present study is aimed at finding an operational definition of interactivity that can be used in almost all communication contexts. Additionally, based primarily on three recent reviews on the concept, the stu…
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…
The Pros and Cons of Dubbing and Subtitling
Dubbing and subtitling are the most prevalent methods used to make foreign-language television programmes available to a domestic market. Each adaptation method has its advantages and disadvantages. This article provides an inventory of the pros and cons of both methods on the basis of three questions: Through which method can information best be transferred? What are the aesthetic advantages and disadvantages of each method? Which skills do view…
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: A 3‐Year Panel Study
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,…
