Preferred term

age and comprehension of sexual content  

Definition(s)

  • Research into the impact of sexually oriented media messages on children and adolescents' sexual expectations, attitudes, and behaviors has always been closely related to the issue of how young viewers may understand these messages. Effects researchers have realized that viewers' ability to process, understand, and evaluate sexual content is likely to change throughout adolescence, and therefore, they have acknowledged that media effects may be different at different levels of maturity.
