Keynote II: "The Digital Child: Lessons from Studying the Family Media Ecology"
by Prof. Dr. Heather Kirkorian Department Chair and Professor of Human Development & Family Studies; University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA | |
| Session Abstract | |
|
Prof. Kirkorian’s talk will synthesize research on digital media and early child development using the Dynamic, Relational, and Ecological Approach to Media Effects Research (DREAMER) framework. The DREAMER framework emphasizes the regulatory and relational processes that shape how young children and families use and respond to media, balancing the needs of different family members. Prof. Kirkorian will use examples from her own and others’ research to illustrate how different types of media use predict different short- and long-term outcomes. Prof. Kirkorian will also translate these research findings into practical advice for supporting digital well-being in families with young children. | |
