This study examined the relationship between media use and stress symptoms in German adolescents. Researchers surveyed 357 11-year-olds about their use of TV, audio media, print media, and computers. They found that most time was spent with TV and coping was a main reason for using all media types. Girls associated media use more with externalizing symptoms while boys associated it with both internalizing and externalizing symptoms. The study is now over 10 years old and was limited by only examining German Caucasian adolescents. Future research could expand to the US, examine new media like games/internet, and consider social/group use of media.
