Description
Fear in Front of the Screen: Children's Fears, Nightmares and Thrills from TV This book explores how children experience fear while watching television. Two complementary studies, involving over 1,200 participants from eight countries, investigate this universal childhood phenomenon. The results highlight common elements of fear on screen, as well as differences between negative experiences of fear and positive thrills. The study also examines the unique features of fear that characterize different developmental stages, including pre-school, middle childhood, pre-teens, and teenagers. It explores how gender and culture influence these fears, providing a nuanced understanding of this complex issue. The book offers valuable insights for media producers, policymakers, parents, and educators. By shedding light on children's experiences with fear in front of the screen, this innovative research has important implications for our understanding of childhood development and media consumption.
