Back in the day it was saying "Bloody Mary" into a mirror at slumber parties. Today, it means viral social media information stunts. Though adults get caught up, too, kids are especially susceptible to peer pressure and FOMO (fear of missing out). To them, what was once a double-dog dare is now a popular YouTuber eating a hot pepper just to see what happens. sharing Called "challenges," these stunts range from harmless to horrifying: There are the silly ones (such as the Mannequin Challenge); the helpful ones (like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge); and the slightly risky ones (such as In This Issue the Make Your Own Slime Challenge). But sometimes, challenges are downright dangerous, resulting in physical injury -- and possibly even death. So what's a parent to do? The Viral Internet Stunts Parents Should Below are some of the hottest challenges that have swept social media; some fade and then make a comeback. In Know most cases, kids are watching these challenges on YouTube purely for entertainment, but some challenges inspire Next Monthly kids to try them out themselves. (In fact, the safe ones can be fun for families to try.) Others -- like the Backpack Webinar - September Challenge -- are often done with the goal of filming other kids and broadcasting the results online.

  • Social Cognitive Theory Psychology of Media
    Social Cognitive Theory Psychology of Media Alejandra Feliz, Rachel Elizar, Kirstin Elliott-Noon, Shine` Thompson, Addie Han Definition ● Learning behaviors by observing others performing those behaviors and subsequently imitating them ourselves. ● This theory has four subsections of observational learning from media. For modeling to occur: 1. A person must be exposed to the media example and pay attention to it. 2. The individual must be capable of symbolically encoding and remembering the observer events, including both constructing the representation and cognitively representing it when the media example is no longer present. 3. The individual must be able to translate the symbolic conceptions into appropriate action. 4. Motivation must somehow develop through internal or external reinforcement (reward) in order to energize the performance of the behavior. Development of Theory ● Initially applied to media in context of studying effects of violent media models on behavior (children viewing high risk behaviors on TV, increased their tendency to engage in these behaviors, educational video shown portraying negative consequences decreased behavior) ● Social aggression (mean girls- rumors, ostracism) promiscuous behavior (regardless of negative or positive portrayal) ● Simple exposure can result in increased behavior? Ex: School shootings ● Media: entertainment/ Television (shows, movies, news) ● Still most commonly studied area within SCT ● BUT: Model has other applications such as modeling of sexual, prosocial or purchasing behavior Examples Mannequin Challenge: ● Is a viral Internet video trend where people remain frozen in action, like mannequins while a moving camera films them and the song “Black Beatles” by Rae Sremmurd plays in the background. ● Started by a teenager named Emili in Jacksonville, Florida.

    A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Public Reddit Blog Posts on Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Mandy M. Greaves1 Cass Dykeman Fresno State University Oregon State University Counselor Ed. and Rehab. Counseling Acad. Unit 5005 N Maple Ave, MS ED1 104 Furman Hall Fresno, CA 93740-8025 Corvallis, OR 97331 A Preprint Abstract While non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is not a new phenomenon, there is still a limited understanding of the behavior, the intent behind the behavior and what the individuals themselves say about their behavior. This study collected pro-NSSI public blog posts from Reddit and analyzed the content linguistically using LIWC software, in order to examine the use of NSSI specific words, linguistic properties and the psychological linguistic properties. The results inform current counseling practices by dispelling myths and providing insight into the inner world of people who engage in NSSI. The most frequently appearing category of NSSI specific words in the Reddit blogs was the reasons for engaging in NSSI. The linguistic properties found in the analysis reflected the predicted results; authors of pro-NSSI posts used first-person singular pronouns extensively, indicating high levels of mental health distress and isolation. The psychological linguistic properties that could be observed in these public Reddit posts were dominantly in a negative emotional tone which demonstrates youth and impulsivity. The linguistic properties found when these posts were analyzed supports the work of earlier studies that dispelled common myths about NSSI that were circulating in the mental health community. Keywords: NSSI, LIWC, linguistic analysis, mental health, self-injury 1 Correspondence concerning this preprint should be addressed to Mandy M.

And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Paul Kantner, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, Juan Gabriel, George Michael, Sharon Jones... the list goes on. And yet, while sad 2016 became a meme of its own, there is so much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall volume is up 3% over 2016, fueled by a 76% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. Nearly 650 solo artists, groups and collaborators appeared on the Top 200 Song Consumption chart in 2016, representing over 1,200 different songs. The rapid changes in technology and distribution channels are changing the way we discover and engage with content. Reaction times are shorter and current events ERIN CRAWFORD can have an instant impact on consumption. The last Presidential debate had SVP ENTERTAINMENT barely finished when there was an increase in streaming activity for Janet Jackson’s & GM MUSIC “Nasty.” The day after the news broke about Prince’s passing, over 1 million of his songs were downloaded.

This preoccupation with ‘binge’ drinking amplifies moral panics surrounding youth alcohol consumption whereby consideration of the social and cultural nuances of pleasure that give meaning to young people’s excessive drinking practices and values has been given little priority. This sociological study explores how young drinkers regulate their drinking practices through levels of agency which is informed by values linked to the pursuit of pleasurable intoxication alongside friendship groups in a variety of drinking settings.

Voting rates are declining. Canadians have a low opinion of politicians and do not engage in political activities or discussion. These issues are particularly pressing among Canada’s youth who already feel burned out and fearful for their future. In this era of misinformation and polarization, the generation raised on social media is at risk of lacking the knowledge, skills and resources to make important political choices and decisions. To lesson the impact of misinformation and polarization on youth, Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada has partnered with the Samara Centre for Democracy to develop a non-partisan initiative aiming to engage youth in a series of activities on digital citizenship called “Let’s Talk Digital”.

Through a range of services, SICs respond to the latest online issues, helping to promote the many opportunities the online world offers, while also addressing the challenges. And while Europe’s children and youth are the main benefactors of this work, BIK also reaches out to, and collaborates with, a range of other stakeholders – parents and carers, teachers and educators, researchers, industry, civil society, decision makers and law enforcement. The “Insafe insights…” series draws on the experience and expertise of the Insafe network to tackle some of the most topical issues encountered in its day-to-day operations. Drawing on statistics and helpline case studies, this document aims to outline the issue and some possible responses, while also pointing to sources of further information and support.
