racial study
I am an adjunct, Assistant Professor in the Division of Psychological
and Educational Services at Fordham University and I am conducting a research study on interracial couples. The research packet contains
two relatively brief questionnaires and a personal data sheet.
Responding to these questionnaires will require approximately 20-25
minutes.
If you are or have been in interracial relationship (i.e., dating,
living together, married, in a civil union, separated, or divorced)
and you and/or your partner would be interested in participating in
the study, please click on the following link –
If you know anyone who would like to participate in this study, please
forward this message.
Thank you in advance,
Lisa Orbé-Austin, Ph.D.

How Teens Use Media
I was able to glance over the "June 2009, How Teens Use Media" report from Nielsen...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Media Consumption of a Typical U.S. Teenager as measured by Nielsen
"...there is no 'typical' teen-age consumer, just as really there is no typical consumer overall..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Myth: Teens use media—10 screens at a time
Reality: Teens are more likely than adults to use their media one at a time
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Myth: Teens are abandoning TV for new media
Reality: ...They’re watching more TV than ever
"In the U.S., there’s been a slight shift in teen TV viewing from broadcast to ad-supported cable..."
3 hours, 20 minutes per day
"The most popular genres for U.S. teens are Evening Animation, Participation/Variety and General Drama. Family Guy and American Dad drive the animation category...American Idol...the top U.S. program among teens in 2008—as it was for everyone else..."
Myth: Avid commercial skippers, teens favor the DVR
Reality: Teens prefer their TV live
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC use
52 minutes daily (including applications)
Myth: Teens use the Internet in wildly different ways than adults
Reality: Teens flock to many of the same categories and sites as adults
Myth: Teens are the most avid users of the Internet
Reality: Teens browse less than half as much as the typical user
Internet, 23 minutes
Myth: Teens are driving the growth of online video
Reality: They watch less online video than their elders
Online video...If they watched, watched 6 minutes per day
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Myth: Teens are the biggest gamers of all
Reality: Teens account for just 23% of the console audience and less than 10% of PC game minutes
The most anticipated video game among gamers 13–17 since 2005 has been Halo 3...Grand Theft Auto IV tied Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the second most anticipated video game. Mario Party 7 (33%) and Guitar Hero: World Tour (32%) round out the list of the fve most anticipated games...
Console Gaming, 25 minutes daily
Reality: More than a quarter of U.S. teens say they read a daily newspaper and more than a third say they read on Sunday
"...older teens 18–20 measured by Scarborough Research were less likely to read a daily paper than average, but still more than a quarter (29%) of U.S. persons 18–20 say they read a daily newspaper on an average day. About a third, 34%, say they read a paper on an average Sunday.
(Which brings me to the section where I rant) IF YOU GIVE THEM A REASON TO READ IT, MAYBE THEY WILL!!! No different than TV, radio, vodcasts/podcasts: give them, your audience, a reason to be interested in your content! Show an interest in them, and their interests...
Newspaper, 1 in 4 read
I remember the joy of perusing and reading the newpaper with my great-grandparents. I intentionally would not pay for cable television to force my children to look at the newpaper I would bring home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Reality: Radio is the top source of music consumption for 16% of teens globally and the secondary source for another 21%.
"In the U.S., a 2008 study by Scarborough Research showed that 'Pop Contemporary Hit Radio' was the most popular format among older teens 18–20 (listened to by 40% of this segment), followed by Rhythmic Contemporary and Country..."
Reality: Advertisers are more likely to target teens with messages about health and beauty
Myth: U.S. teens are the world’s couch potatoes
Reality: Far from true…South Africans and Indonesians take the prize
Myth: The only way to reach teens over their phone is texting
Reality: Teens text at incredible rates, but are EARLY ADOPTERS OF ALL MOBILE MEDIA
Myth: The silver screen is too old-fashioned and expensive for today’s teens
Reality: Teens go to the movies more than any other age group
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that this demographic is no different than any other: if you want them, you will need to put in the effort and "fight for them".
