Dear Colleagues, Melissa Godbout and I are writing a paper, using large-scale Canadian survey data about the link between attitudes towards the internet, mobile phones, and tech in general. Linking this to: -- demographics of users -- actual use of these devices. We just don't know the attitudes literature in this area. We'd appreciate it if you'd point us to some key recent articles. We'll work back from there. And of course, RT (retweet to non-tweeps) to the list what we come up with. Many thanks in advance, Barry Wellman _______________________________________________________________________ S.D.

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
