42
Q

pros and cons of GTE

A

Easy to administrate, requiring relatively little work for the respondent

44
Q

pros cons of Time use diaries (TUDs)

A

More accurate

  • Labour intensive
  • Respondents frequently refuse to include activities that they would consider private (e.g., surfing the Internet for porn)
  • Assess only primary and secondary activities; tertiary activities and beyond are not recorded.
  • Noncompliance with the requirements of the task (i.e., failure to record an activity in the log) becomes compromised for events of brief duration, especially those that are recurring
45

Media diaries

(b) the TV can be viewed while sitting at the computer

(c) the TV is “on” in the house the majority of the time

(d) they possess a personality characterized by sensation seeking

(e) they are female

51
Q

why is gender a factotr?

A
  • due to evolutionary pressures associated with being the “gatherer” in a hunter–gatherer society, girls are genetically predisposed to multitask
  • girls may multitask more than boys simply because they consume more media that allows media multi- tasking to take place
    • Eg: boys play more video games associated with less multitasking
52
Q

Parasocial relationships

A

One-way interactions in which the individual feels an emotional, even intimate, connection toward a media- based character
