Dear Professor Wellman, I have selected the following references from my Masters thesis, which was based on an Australian study on the relationship of loneliness and social anxiety with children's and adolescents' online communication: Bryant, J. A., Sanders-Jackson, A., & Smallwood, A. M. K. (2006). IMing, text messaging, and adolescent social networks. Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 11, 577-592. Heim, J., Brandtzæg, P. B., Kaare, B. H., Endestad, T., & Torgersen, L. (2007). Children's usage of media technologies and psychosocial factors. New Media & Society, 9, 425-454. Leung, L. (2007). Stressful life events, motives for Internet use, and social support among digital kids. CyberPsychology & Behavior, 10, 204-214. Livingstone, S., & Helsper, E. (2007). Gradations in digital inclusion: Children, young people and the digital divide. New Media & Society, 9, 671-696. Valkenburg, P. M., & Peter, J. (2007). Preadolescents' and adolescents' online communication and their closeness to friends. Developmental Psychology, 43, 267-277. I hope such literature can still be of assistance, as it does not specifically addresses the attitudes. Kind regards, Luigi
