title: Media and youth consumerism.
abstract: Studies into the impact of advertising typically focus on three kinds of effects: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. This article summarizes research into types of effect and discusses the literature on several other predictors of children's consumer behavior, including age gender, socioeconomic level, and parent-child communication. The article ends with some information about European regulation about advertising and some suggestions for future research into children's consumer behavior.
