Child and Adolescent Online Risk Exposure: An Ecological Perspective focuses on online risks and outcomes for children and adolescents using an ecological perspective (i.e., the intersection of individuals in relevant contexts) for a better understanding of risks associated with the youth online experience. The book examines the specific consequences of online risks for youth and demonstrates how to develop effective and sensitive interventions and policies. Sections discuss why online risks are important, individual and contextual factors, different types of risk, online risks among special populations, such as LGBT youth, physically or intellectually disabled youth, and ethnic and religious minorities, and intervention efforts.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Child and Adolescent Online Risk Exposure: An Ecological Perspective focuses on online risks and outcomes for children and adolescents using an ecological perspective (i.e. the intersection of individuals in relevant contexts) for a better understanding of risks associated with negative online experiences. The book examines the differential and specific consequences of online risks for youth, and demonstrates how to develop effective and sensitive interventions and policies regarding youth technology use.

Divided into five sections, the first introduces each topic by overviewing online risks, discussing why online risks are important, and then covering the individual and contextual factors that are associated with online risk involvement among youth. The second section discusses different types of risk and provides recommendations for reducing those risks. Next, it addresses online risks among special populations such as LGBT youth, physically or intellectually disabled youth, and ethnic and religious minorities. The fourth section focuses on intervention efforts aimed at reducing youths’ involvement and exposure to online risks. The book concludes with an integration of the essential findings of the book and recommends next steps in the future development of interventions and policies concerning online risks.
