Abstract
Introduction: Kids' Take on Media is a national study of Canadian children's and adolescents' experience with media.
Method: The survey was designed and conducted by ERIN Research in spring, 2003 for the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF) following consultation with the Media Awareness Network (MNet), and with funding from the National Crime Prevention Centre, Justice Canada.
Results: While there is an extensive literature on the links between media violence and behaviour, this survey asks kids directly what they think: How attractive is media violence? Have they seen other kids imitate violent acts that they saw in the media? Do kids see media violence as harmful?
Conclusion: Parental supervision of media use and family discussion of media issues have significant effects on kids' opinion regarding media violence. When families and significant others provide a framework for thinking about violence in media, kids are better equipped to assess an negative impact.
