DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Electronic media have long been cited as the source of various societal ills, including the breakdown of family communication, increasing social isolation, increasing insensitivity to violence, and even acts of murder. With the recent explosion in availability of interactive media such as the Internet and the World Wide Web, concern about the impact of media use on children's well-being has reached new heights. Despite this concern, the ways in which media use fits into the larger pattern of factors influencing children's well-being remains largely unexamined. The proposed project will examine the role of electronic media use in children's well-being (academic achievement and social adjustment) in two waves of data, four years apart, from a large nationally representative data base of some 3500 families with children ages 1 to 16. We propose to examine both secular change in children's media use in different age cohorts of children, as well as the developmental role of electronic media use in children's well-being. The data come from the Child Development Supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID-CDS), a sub-component of the larger PSID core sample survey conducted since 1968. The survey data is comprised of two waves, one with a panel component of roughly 2900 children who were between the ages of I and 12 in 1997 and will be between the ages of 5 and 16 in 2001, as well as a newly added cohort of children born between the 1997 and 2001 waves of data collection. The proposed project builds on a previous project analyzing relations between children's media use and well-being in the 1997 wave of data. Both waves of the PSID-CDS data include multiple measures of children's academic achievement, including standardized tests of academic achievement in reading, vocabulary, and mathematical skills. Parents and teachers reported on various aspects of children's social adjustment, including problem behaviors and social competency. This project will focus on children's use of electronic media (television, electronic games, computer software, and the Internet) reported in time use diaries collected at both waves. The analysis of this massive data base will take two years, with one year devoted to developing coding systems for categories and content of use of the Internet and the World Wide Web.

描述（由申请人提供）：电子媒体长期以来被认为是 各种社会弊病的根源，包括家庭的破裂 沟通，增加社会孤立，增加不敏感 暴力，甚至谋杀行为。随着最近可用性的爆炸式增长 互联网和万维网等互动媒体，关注 媒体使用对儿童福祉的影响已达到新的高度。 尽管存在这种担忧，媒体使用的方式仍符合更大的模式 影响儿童福祉的因素在很大程度上仍未得到审查。这 拟议的项目将研究电子媒体的使用对儿童的作用 两波数据中的幸福感（学业成就和社会适应）， 相隔四年，来自约 3500 个具有全国代表性的大型数据库 有 1 至 16 岁儿童的家庭。我们建议研究长期变化 不同年龄段儿童的儿童媒体使用情况以及 电子媒体的使用对儿童福祉的发展作用。数据 来自收入小组研究的儿童发展补充 动态 (PSID-CDS)，较大 PSID 核心样本调查的子组成部分 自 1968 年开始进行。调查数据由两波组成，一波带有 该小组由大约 2900 名 1 岁至 12 岁的儿童组成 1997 年为 5 岁至 16 岁，2001 年为 5 岁至 16 岁，还有一个新的 添加了 1997 年至 2001 年期间出生的儿童队列数据 收藏。拟议的项目建立在之前的项目分析的基础上 1997 年数据浪潮中儿童媒体使用与幸福感之间的关系。 两波 PSID-CDS 数据均包含儿童的多项衡量指标 学术成就，包括学术成就的标准化测试 阅读、词汇和数学技能。家长和老师汇报 儿童社会适应的各个方面，包括问题行为 和社交能力。该项目将重点关注儿童对电子产品的使用 媒体（电视、电子游戏、计算机软件和互联网） 及时报告在两次浪潮中收集的使用日记。对此的分析 海量数据库需要两年时间，其中一年致力于开发 互联网和世界使用类别和内容的编码系统 万维网。
