CURRENT AND NOTABLE RESEARCH
Larry D. Rosen, Ph.D.
At the present time, my colleagues and I are working on the
following research projects:
- Welcome to the iGeneration
The
iGeneration -- those born after 2000 -- form the newest generation of
techno-savvy, media rich, multitasking children. This study (in
process) is examining members of this generation.
- Health
and Media Among Children
This study (in process) is looking at the impact of media
on the physical and emotional health of children.
- Multitasking
and English Literacy
This study examines the amount and
impact of multitasking in children, adolescents, and adults. In
addition, we are investigating the impact of multitasking and the use
of language shortcuts such as acronyms (LOL) and the removal of
apostrophes (dont) on English literacy (expressive and receptive).
- Preference for Peer versus Expert
Advice on the Internet
This study examines whether adults
prefer expert advice over peer advice on issues of book purchases,
medical information, hotel reservations, technology purchases, etc.
- The
Impact of Dichotic Listening on Adolescents
This study is an attempt to replicate
the Cherry studies in the 1950s that showed how adults lack the ability
to attend to two messages presented simultaneously in different ears.
- Negative
Media Representation of Sexual Predators, Cyberbullying, Internet
Addiction and MySpace (2003-2008)
This study examines how the media has provided a continued and
escalating negative representation of online issues such as sexual
predators, cyberbullying, and MySpace.
My colleagues and I have completed the studies listed below over the
past few years. Click
