This book examines mobile media use among children and youths within an Asian context. By studying the impact of mobile media on children and youth in Asia, it focuses on the explosive growth of mobile media among young people and seeks to understand the potential consequences of mobile media use on society, relationships, and what it means to be a young person. With this, it provides a richly contextualized Asian voice to research on mobile media and young people, enriching the global conversation surrounding an increasingly central aspect of youths’ everyday lives. Research on mobile media and its impact on children and youths in Asia is not thoroughly represented, despite the proliferation of smartphone and tablet use in the region. This volume fills this gap by canvassing contemporary research on mobile media, children, and youth in Asia through the perspectives of emerging scholars in the region and beyond. It promotes an understanding of the motivations and patterns of use by children and youth in the region, examines contemporary research on the antecedents and consequences of mobile media use on society, relationships, and the individual, and provides a critique of mobile media use among children and youth. The volume also provides a culturally sensitive examination of mobile media use among children and youth, describing and analyzing policies enacted to manage young people’s smartphone use. It acknowledges Asia as a large and diverse region with differing linguistic, cultural, and sociopolitical traditions and contexts, and so the work does, as far as possible, look to ensure geographic and cultural diversity by prioritizing works from countries that are typically underrepresented. It is a relevant text to graduates and researchers in communication and media studies, social and developmental psychology, human development studies, science and technology, information systems, and design science.

Andrew Z H Yee is Assistant Professor at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological university. His research aims to understand how and why young people use digital technology, and the impact it can have on their development and well-being.
