• W51840105 abstract "The primary goal of this study was to examine media behaviors in college students with an emphasis on sex and reading ability differences in reading behavior. 209 undergraduate students participated. 101 had been enrolled in a college remedial reading course. Females rated material from the mystery/thriller, religion/spirituality, and romance genres more favorably than males. Males did not rate any genre more favorably than females. Females read books for fun and magazines more often than males. Males read newspapers and played video games more often than females. Interestingly, there were no differences in the use of books for school purposes across the sexes or ability groups. The students who had taken a college remedial reading course reported spending a greater amount of time playing video games, while the non-remedial students reported reading more. There were also significant differences in reasons for not reading across sex and ability groups. ********** The leisure and information access choices available to the child, adolescent and young adult are changing at an astounding rate. During the 2000's, it has become commonplace for cell phones, video games, and other technological devices to go everywhere. How has this affected the choice to read for leisure? The worry that other leisure alternatives would replace reading of traditional format books has been voiced since TV became entrenched in the homes of most families (e.g., Knulst & Kraaykamp, 1998; Koolstra, van der Voort, & van der Kamp, 1997; van der Voort, 1991) over 40 years ago. Now the myriad of choices available to replace the reading of printed material is staggering. The potential displacement of reading behavior is especially distressing as its benefits are so widely recognized. There is general agreement among researchers that time spent reading is positively associated with better performance in school, higher scores on critical thinking and reasoning tests, and larger vocabularies (e.g., Cunningham & Stanovich, 1991; 2003; Gallik, 1999; Guthrie, 2001; Nagy & Herman, 1987; Stanovich & Cunningham, 1992). Therefore, those who do not engage in regular pleasure reading may be at a disadvantage because they may have difficulty developing reading and writing skills at a sufficient level to negotiate the demands of today's world (Kirsch, de Jong, Lafontaine, McQueen, Mendelovits, & Monseur, 2002; Krashen, 1993). Even in the age of hugely popular book series such as Harry Potter and Twilight, leisure reading is not a common activity among older children and young adults. Children read more often and more children report enjoying reading than teens and adults (e.g., Greaney, 1980; Moje, Young, Readance, & Moore, 2000; Strommen & Mates, 2004). Additionally, a report by the National Endowment for the Arts (2004) suggests that youth and adults in the U.S. today do not read for pleasure as much or as well as they did 20 years ago. This has led some educators to suggest that reading behavior is losing ground to competing activities available to older teens and young adults from video games to iPhones (e.g., Johnsson-Smaragdi & Jonsson, 2006; Neuman, 1988). However, some researchers have found that the reading behavior of adolescents and young adults has not changed appreciably since the 1940's (Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, & Wilkinson, 1985; Neuman, 1995; Strommen & Mates, 2004). There is evidence that few children, skilled readers or not, elect to spend leisure time reading. For example, Kubey and Csikzentmihalyi (1990) reported the average American teenager spent less than two hours per week pursuing pleasure reading compared to about six hours doing homework and twenty-one hours watching TV. In addition, a recent study by Mokhtari, Reichard, & Gardner (2009) found that college students, despite reporting enjoying recreational reading, considering themselves to be good readers, and thinking that recreational reading was important, seemed to engage in other activities (e. …" @default.
