“…With regard to academic achievement, Roe (1995) has argued that low academic achievers have a preference for media content that is culturally less accepted because they experience to differ from dominant cultural norms due to their academic performance. Qualitative research on pornography suggests that dominance-themed and violencethemed SEIM are considered as less acceptable by adolescents, while affection-themed SEIM is often seen as more appropriate (Cameron et al, 2005;Månsson & Löfgren-Mårtenson, 2007).…”

“…The literature on adolescents' media use (e.g., Roe, 1995;Steele, 1999) suggests that both academic achievement and religiosity may influence whether an adolescent watches affection-themed, dominance-themed and violence-themed SEIM. With regard to academic achievement, Roe (1995) has argued that low academic achievers have a preference for media content that is culturally less accepted because they experience to differ from dominant cultural norms due to their academic performance.…”

a b s t r a c tCommunication scholars have repeatedly highlighted the importance of studying the type of content that media users are exposed to. However, although adolescents use sexually explicit Internet material (SEIM) frequently, we know little about which specific types of SEIM they are exposed to. Moreover, knowledge is lacking about the antecedents of exposure to different types of SEIM and whether these antecedents differ between boys and girls. The present two-wave panel survey among 1557 Dutch adolescents addressed these lacunae by studying exposure to affection-themed, dominance-themed and violencethemed SEIM. Younger adolescents were more often exposed to affection-themed SEIM, while older adolescents and adolescents with higher levels of academic achievement were more frequently exposed to dominance-themed SEIM. Hyper masculine boys and hyper feminine girls were more frequently exposed to violence-themed SEIM.

“…High-tech devices help adolescents "project the self" that they want to show and may help attract the friends they want. Using their friends as sounding boards, they seek personal clarification and approval (Roe, 1995). Devices can be used as ice breakers.…”

Adolescents' utilitarian and hedonic Web consumption behavior: Hierarchical influence of personal values and innovativeness

et al. 2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study addresses the Web-consumption behavior of adolescents from a cognitive, hierarchical decision-making perspective. Using a structural equation analysis technique on data collected from high school students, two a priori domains of Web consumption (utilitarian and hedonic) were confirmed. The utilitarian and hedonic domains of Web consumption were influenced directly by innovativeness and indirectly by the personal values of the adolescents. A theoretical discussion based on the results and the implications of these results are presented for the benefit of youth practitioners, educators, parents, and social marketers.

“…Both Arnett 25 and Roe 26 stressed that adolescents characterized by disinhibition, sensation seeking, and risky behaviors are more often alienated from school, receive lower grades, and are more likely to drop out, and, as a result, tend to have strained relations with parents, teachers, and other authority figures. Estranged from major social institutions, they seek the company of their peers and try to compensate for their failure in school with status and respect among these peers.…”

Early Adolescent Music Preferences and Minor Delinquency

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Adolescent music preferences have been linked to problem behavior in cross-sectional studies. Particularly, preferences for loud, rebellious, and so-called "deviant" music predict externalizing problem behavior, such as minor delinquency and substance abuse. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:There is a theoretical rationale for associations between music preferences and minor delinquency. Preferences for rock, African American music, and electronic dance music indicate later minor delinquency. Music preferences are better markers of later delinquency compared with early adolescent delinquency.abstract OBJECTIVES: To test Music Marker Theory (MMT) positing that early adolescents' preferences for nonmainstream types of popular music indicate concurrent and later minor delinquency. METHODS:MMT was tested in a 4-year longitudinal study (n = 309). RESULTS:The results showed that early fans of different types of rock (eg, rock, heavy metal, gothic, punk), African American music (rhythm and blues, hip-hop), and electronic dance music (trance, techno/ hardhouse) showed elevated minor delinquency concurrently and longitudinally. Preferring conventional pop (chart pop) or highbrow music (classic music, jazz), in contrast, was not related to or was negatively related to minor delinquency. CONCLUSIONS:Early music preferences emerged as more powerful indicators of later delinquency rather than early delinquency, indicating that music choice is a strong marker of later problem behavior. The mechanisms through which music preferences are linked to minor delinquency are discussed within the framework of MMT. Pediatrics 2013;131:e380-e389 AUTHORS:
