Friday, March 10, 2023 · Brussels, Belgium

Lifespan Development

This symposium aims to address how a diverse set of family factors shape children's and adolescents' media habits and related outcomes. We present and integrate findings across four studies to highlight the family circumstances that may promote and/or undermine child and adolescent development. Implications for family-based media guidelines are discussed.
