A diverse range of topics are addressed from a developmental perspective, giving readers a good grounding in theory and findings alike. With his lucid writing style, clearly structured chapters and a slew of rather endearing personal anecdotes, Kirsch makes a labyrinthine subject remarkably navigable. He reveals that the areas most influenced by media are not necessarily what we might think.\" (The Psychologist, May 2011) \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eSteven J. Kirsh\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Psychology at The State University of New York at Geneseo. Dr. Kirsh’s primary areas of research focus on the influence of violent media on emotion recognition and social information processing. He has published \u003ci\u003eChildren, Adolescents, and Media Violence: A Critical Look at the Research\u003c\/i\u003e (2006), as well as numerous scientific articles and book chapters.   \u003ci\u003eMedia \u0026amp; Youth: A Developmental Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough review and critique of the media effects research conducted on infants, children, and adolescents.   \u003cp\u003eThroughout their development, youths vary cognitively, emotional, physically, and socially. In taking a developmental perspective, the theories and research throughout the book effectively reflect these variations.  This approach results in far greater clarity in understanding the effects of media on youth as a result of age and developmental status.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKirsh offers a unique and wide-ranging overview of this fascinating subject, addressing the crucial issues of how much media youth consume and why; the positive and negative impacts of varying media across development; the theories behind the impact of media on youth, and what can be done to reduce the harmful consequences associated with media consumption. Each chapter ends with a section on developmental points of interest; these sections place the empirical findings, underlying theory, and suggestions for future research discussed in that chapter within the context of developmental change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis textbook is of primary interest to those teaching courses on, and studying, media effects and children in the areas of Psychology and Communication.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"Young people today are immersed in the media, like fish in water. Finally, here is a textbook that describes the impact of media immersion on how young people think, feel, and behave. Rather than relying on anecdotes or hunches, Professor Kirsh uses the findings from scientific studies. The book is a must read for anyone concerned about the impact of the media on youth.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrad J.
