Effects of the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Marijuana Initiative Campaign on High-Sensation-Seeking Adolescents
Objectives. We evaluated the effects of the Marijuana Initiative portion of the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign on high-sensation-seeking and low-sensation-seeking adolescents. Methods. Personal interviews were conducted via laptop computers with independent monthly random samples of 100 youths from the same age cohort in each of 2 moderate-sized communities over 48 months (April 1999–March 2003) o…
Cognitive engagement and story comprehension in typically developing children and children with ADHD from preschool through elementary school
The present study examined children's cognitive engagement with television as a function of the continuity of central or incidental content and whether this varied with age and clinical status. In Experiment 1, 9- to 11-year-old children's response times on a secondary task were slower the later a probe occurred in a sequence of central events, and response times predicted recall. Experiment 2 extended these results to 6- to 8-year-old children. …
Reliability and validity of a brief measure of sensation seeking
Applications of a Theoretic Model of Information Exposure to Health Interventions
This paper describes an individual-differences model of information exposure which reflects the needs for novelty and sensation likely inherited as survival behaviors from humankind's ancient past. The model grew out of an earlier activation model developed to explain exposure to information about public affairs. After the model's biological basis is explained, it is proposed as a theory in deductive nomological form. Propositions are then deduce…
Attention, Need for Sensation, and Health Communication Campaigns
Although attention to novelty is no longer as vital to survival as in our ancient past, the attention value of novelty has major implications for contemporary human communication. It also is affected by individual differences in reactivity to intense and novel stimulation. The studies reported in this article involve the roles of attention and sensation seeking in responses to drug abuse prevention campaigns in the mass media. Early studies have …
Task effects and individual differences in on‐line processing of the topic structure of a text
Do experienced readers alter their processing of topics in a text according to task demands? Subjects read a text in preparation for a task that either emphasized topic information (outlining) or did not emphasize topic information (verification). Reading times were recorded for sentences which introduced either major or minor shifts of text topics. Subjects read topic sentences more slowly if they introduced major topic shifts, but the magnitude…

On‐line processing of summary and importance signals in reading
How do readers respond to signals in a text that certain information is relevant? Subjects in Experiment 1 read texts a sentence at a time while their reading times were recorded for specific target sentences. Subjects took longer to read a summary sentence if the preceding sentence signaled it as a summary than if no preceding signal was provided. Further, the effect of signaling a summary was larger for poor readers than for good readers. There…
Effects of peer presence on preschool children's television-viewing behavior
Subjects were 3and 5-year-old children who were observed watching television in the presence of an audiovisual slide distractor in groups of one, two, or three viewers. Peers viewing the TV together influenced each other's behavior in a synchronized fashion: When one child looked at the TV, looked at the distractor, or demonstrated overt involvement with the TV, the other child tended to do the same thing. This peer influence occurred above and b…
