Children's and Adolescents' Media Use: Some Methodological Reflections

KARL Erik Rosengren’s chapter presents an overview of an ongoing Swedish research program, the Media Panel Program (MPP). His chapter displays a sample of thoughts, methods, and results from the research program, a compressed selection of what I presume are some of the clearest and “best” examples. The numerous snapshots of lines of thought, methodology, and empirical results are connected by a theme – the question of “invariant change” or “the possibilities of drawing general and lasting conclusions from results such as those presented” (p. 52).
