2014
Masters Award
Charlotte Dunkeld, University of Sussex
Advertisements promote material goods and appearance as ways to compensate for emotional and social difficulties, and achieve happiness. But do children turn to consumerism when they are feeling upset or experiencing stress, and what effect does this have on their overall well-being? My Masters dissertation is the first study to explore relations between media exposure, consumer coping strategies and well-being among pre-adolescent children.
