This research addressed whether exposure to media, which increasingly portrays hacker characters across diverse media domains, may predict perceptions of others’ willingness to hack. Specifically, this study assessed how wishful identification with hacker characters may contribute to individuals’ perception of hacking behaviors. One-hundred forty-nine North American participants were recruited using MTurk.com. Participants reported (1) their exposure to general media and perceived identification with a fictional hacker character, and (2) their perceived risks, payoffs, and estimated willingness of others to engage in hacker behaviors regarding a specific call to hack. Additionally, this research examined differences in the effects of media exposure on hacking likelihood between two types of hacks: financial hacking attacks and hacktivism attacks. Results show (1) that perceived payoffs of hacking, but not perceived risks, predict individuals’ estimation of hacker behaviors, (2) a significant and positive indirect effect between media exposure and estimation of others’ willingness to hack passes through wishful identification and perceived payoffs of hacking attacks, and (3) no significant differences in the above relationships between the two types of hacks. Together, these findings highlight that media exposure may increase positive perceptions of hackers and in turn increase the perception of pervasiveness and legitimacy of engaging in hacking behaviors.

The use of screen media has significantly increased and several lifestyle consequences have occurred following this change. Screen media exposure is more common among younger age children. Multiple factors may be the reason for this; however, their use is likely reinforced. Parents seek support from screen media devices, which can help calm and occupy their children in a matter of minutes. However, resorting to electronic devices for instant relief is likely to persist due to both negative and positive reinforcement. Reinforcing screen media in this way will make the use of screen devices inextricable for parents and their children. Explaining the issue clearly and coming up with feasible solutions will help minimize the negative health effects of prolonged screen use, the general desirability of screen media devices, and also improve (and increase) healthy screen time habits in children.

Abstract Early exposure to digital media has become an integral part of everyday life, which is frequently being reported as one of potential risk factors for a number of developmental disorders, including language development in infants and toddlers. The current article represents introduction to a research study which will be dealing with a potential link between the risk of language delay and excessive screen media time in children. With this in mind, we will present three case reports involving young children who experienced a language delay, but did not have any health problems diagnosed, nor did they have any of the physical high-risk factors for language and other developmental disorders detected. What these three children have in common is the fact that they were all excessively exposed to digital media during the first two years of life. The existing empirical findings suggest that different forms of digital content may be overstimulating for the developing brain, which is true both for active and background screen viewing. Moreover, screen time may be seen as a distraction from other more developmentally important activities. Keeping parents informed about a potential negative influence of prolonged media exposure can prompt parents to make informed decisions about whether and to what extent they will expose their children to digital media in the earliest period of their development.
