“…Data about how adolescents perceive alcohol depictions in social and entertainment media might also be informative for adolescent media literacy training and media-specific parent interventions (e.g., Corcoran et al, 2022; Gabrielli et al, 2018), which have been associated with youth perceptions about substances (Greene et al, 2020; Primack et al, 2014; Slater et al, 1996) and substance use outcomes (Cox et al, 2018; Pinkleton et al, 2007). Notably, adaptations to future use of media literacy trainings to include a focus on portrayals on social media are warranted.…”

Objective: Exposure to alcohol in the media is pervasive and may influence adolescents' perceptions and use of alcohol. The purpose of this study was to better understand how adolescents perceive alcohol-related content in both entertainment and social media, with a focus on the valence of portrayals (i.e., positive, negative) and impacts on cognitions and behaviors. Method: Participants were 40 high school students (60% female). Nine focus groups were conducted via videoconferencing, stratified by grade (9th/10th, 11th/12th) and gender. Transcripts were analyzed via template-style thematic analyses to identify themes. Results: Six themes were developed, including (a) some portrayals of alcohol may increase likelihood of using alcohol, (b) some portrayals of alcohol in the media can discourage drinking, (c) sometimes truly negative consequences of alcohol are portrayed positively or downplayed, (d) media portrayals of alcohol are perceived to be based in reality but are at times exaggerated, (e) adolescent and adult alcohol use is portrayed differently in entertainment media, and (f ) the extent to which adolescents are influenced by the media may depend on their preexisting attitudes, beliefs, and education. Conclusions: Adolescents have awareness of media portrayals of alcohol, both positive and negative, and their associated impacts. Findings highlight the need for much more work to understand the conditions under which, and for whom, exposure to different types of positive portrayals of alcohol in the media translate into positive expectancies about alcohol or drinking motives. Such work may ultimately inform intervention targets to reduce early initiation and/or risky drinking among adolescents. Public Health Significance StatementThe study indicates that adolescents have extensive awareness of alcohol portrayals in both entertainment and social media and perceive that such portrayals impact adolescents' alcohol use behavior, social norms related to alcohol use, and expected effects of alcohol. Despite common exposure to media portrayals of alcohol, adolescents noted individual differences in perceptions of alcohol exposures as well as platform-specific differences. Knowing adolescents are very aware of alcohol portrayals in the media suggests the importance of countering alcohol-promoting content, ideally within platforms where it is encountered, as a tool to lower positive drinking expectancies and early drinking initiation.

“…These days, juveniles almost all over the globe are being raised in a technologically saturated environment (Corcoran et al, 2022;Singh et al, 2022). With the advancement of artificial intelligence education (Bellas & Sousa, 2023), new cultural and social landscapes require advancements in science education (Deepa et al, 2022;Lupion-Cobos et al, 2022).…”

<p style="margin-left: 21.3pt; text-align: justify;">In recent years, educational robotics has gained ground in educational policy around the world, and primary education is no exception. However, there has not yet been a thorough synthesis of methodologically appropriate empirical research on the effects of robotics upon cognitive performance among primary school students, which this paper attempted to do. Following literature screening, a total of eight studies published between 2018 and 2022 with a sample size of 567 children met inclusion criteria and were meta-analyzed. Resultantly, a medium aggregate effect size in favor of robotics experiments emerged (standardized mean difference of .641), which was significantly higher compared to non-robotics learning (p <.01). No between-study heterogeneity was detected. Subgroup analysis revealed a slightly larger overall effect for interventions on first- to third-graders rather than those in grades 4-6. Additionally, the analysis indicates that in order to enhance cognitive abilities in primary students, robotics interventions should be no longer than four weeks and involve robot construction. Based on the findings, implications, and suggestions are outlined for future research and practice.</p>
