The lead article in this issue by Strasburger and colleagues reviews the substantial literature on the impact of the mass media on children's and adolescents' health and development. These issues are certainly not new, but with the rapidly changing technology environment, there is an assumption that the risks to children and adolescents could be more problematic than were once expected. The question of what role new technology plays in the media's influence is now a subject of both review and discussion, particularly regarding health risks and intervention. 4,5 The many articles in this issue address various aspects of this research. This article examines just one of these concerns, cyberbullying or Internet harassment, and considers how in a relatively short period of time a new form of acting aggressively has become part of daily conversation. In addressing this somewhat recent form of interpersonal aggression, the author takes a brief look at online usage and the theoretical mechanisms that might make Internet access more problematic in terms of risks, compared with more traditional media such as television and film. One of these risks, known today as cyberbullying (Fig. 1), is scrutinized in detail.

This body of research is rich in both theory and data. Although we know a great deal about traditional media like television, the platforms and devices available to children and adolescents to view and interact with today are far beyond those we studied only a few years ago (see Chapter 2). The media landscape is rapidly changing, and this chapter looks at some of the effects of the Internet and these newer technologies on riskrelated behaviors for these audiences. The effects of exposure to violence, sex, food marketing, and the concerns of cyberbullying and sexual exploitation are examined within the context of children and adolescents’ increasing move away from traditional media platforms. This is emerging and ongoing research and offers both theoretical and empirical opportunities for the future of media psychology.

Den eneste forskel på de to forevisninger var, at de staerkeste og groveste voldsscener var klippet fra i den ene udgave-uden at det på nogen måde forstyrrede handlingen i den pågaeldende film. Efter hver af de to fremvisninger blev tilskuerne bedt om at udfylde et lille spørgeskema om, hvor meget de havde nydt filmen. For maendenes vedkommende var nydelsen eller fornøjelsen ved filmen en anelse større ved den voldelige udgave end med udgaven uden den vaerste vold. For kvindernes vedkommende var "nydelsen" lige modsat, idet kvinderne syntes langt dårligere om den voldelige udgave. Det tyder jo unaegtelig på, at det alene er maendenes praeferencer, der dikterer fremkomsten af de mange grove voldsfilm i vore dage, og det er tankevaekkende, at den lille fordel, det er for maendene at se den staerke vold på laerredet, samtidig bevirker en meget større nedsaettelse af filmfornøjelsen for de kvindelige tilskueres vedkommende.

If the Commission finds sufficient evidence of harmful effects, then the Commission's public statement may include public policy recommendations, keeping in mind that effective policies may well differ across countries because of their different legal and cultural traditions and systems.

In this article we review the most recent research on the effects of media on the health and well-being of children and adolescents. Studies have shown that media can provide information about safe health practices and can foster social connectedness. However, recent evidence raises concerns about media's effects on aggression, sexual behavior, substance use, disordered eating, and academic difficulties. We provide recommendations for parents, practitioners, the media, and policy makers, among others, for ways to increase the benefits and reduce the harm that media can have for the developing child and for adolescents.
