DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The initiation of unhealthy risk behaviors such as premature sexual activity, alcohol use, and potentially violent acts like bullying and physical fights is a hallmark of adolescence. It is often the case that these behaviors occur in combination with another, increasing the potential for adverse social and health outcomes. Research has shown that exposure to media content that features depictions of a specific risk behavior is a key influence on adolescents' performance of that behavior. However, studies have failed to account for the effect of multiple risk character portrayals in popular media, and how it may affect risk behavior patterns. This project uses an innovative conceptualization of exposure to risk behavior to study the longitudinal association between multiple risk portrayals in popular movies and television shows and multiple risk behavior in youth. We will content analyze top-grossing mainstream and African American oriented films and television shows for depictions of single and multiple risk behaviors, and will link the results of the content analysisto media exposure and behavior data collected over 3 waves from a nationally representative sample of 14-17 year old teens. Because some adolescents are more susceptible to media effects than others, we will consider background factors (race) and personality characteristics (sensation seeking and impulsivity) as moderators of the exposure-behavior relationship. With the inclusion of African American media titles in our content analyses, we depart from more conventional approaches that rely solely on mainstream media despite the popularity of African American oriented media among African American youth. The findings will advance our understanding of how media contribute to youth engagement in dangerous combinations of risk behaviors and have implications for risk and disease prevention efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：启动不健康的风险行为，例如过早的性活动，饮酒和潜在的暴力行为，例如欺凌和身体上的战斗，是青春期的标志。这些行为通常与另一种行为结合在一起，从而增加了不利的社会和健康成果的潜力。研究表明，对特定风险行为描述的媒体内容的接触是对青少年表现的关键影响。但是，研究未能说明流行媒体中多个风险角色刻画的影响，以及它如何影响风险行为模式。该项目利用对风险行为暴露的创新概念化，研究流行电影和电视节目中多个风险刻画与青年中多种风险行为之间的纵向关联。我们将满足于分析最高的主流和非裔美国人的电影和电视节目，以描绘单一和多种风险行为，并将内容Analysisto Media的暴露和行为数据的结果与从14-17岁的年轻青少年的全国代表性样本中收集的3次波浪中收集的行为数据联系起来。由于某些青少年比其他青少年更容易受到媒体影响的影响，因此我们将将背景因素（种族）和人格特征（寻求和冲动）视为暴露与行为关系的主持人。通过在我们的内容分析中包含非裔美国人媒体的头衔，尽管非裔美国人青年在非洲裔美国媒体中流行，但我们脱离了依赖主流媒体的更常规方法。这些发现将促进我​​们对媒体如何在风险行为的危险组合中的参与以及对风险和疾病预防工作产生影响的理解。
