Table of ContentsReviewsFear in Front of the Screen is a comprehensive review of both the literature on media induced fear in childhood as well as a report of original cross-cultural research with children and adolescents. The authors adopt a developmental approach to what elicits fear reactions to media portrayals at different ages and how children and adolescents cope with fear and thrill inducing media experiences. The combination of survey and qualitative research offers a rich description of the phenomena and a thoughtful and well substantiated set of recommendations for how to aid children when they are frightened. This is a terrific book and I highly recommend it to students of children and media research. -- Ellen Wartella, Northwestern School of Communication Fear in Front of the Screen is a comprehensive review of both the literature on media induced fear in childhood as well as a report of original cross-cultural research with children and adolescents.
