SubsidieMeestersA comprehensive approach to value transmission in the digital age
The project aims to develop a comprehensive theory of value transmission in the digital age, examining the roles of mothers and social media influencers in shaping children's prosocial behavior.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The EU aims to promote common values and beliefs among members. Classic research establishes parents as the main role models for such transmission. However, children today learn values from new role models, such as social media influencers (SMIs), users who share content to acquire followers.
Project Overview
The project will construct a comprehensive value transmission theory applicable across contexts and adapted to the digital age. It will define essential value transmission aspects:
- Source: The source studied will be mothers and SMIs.
- Channel: The channel will be conversations and online exchange of content and engagement.
- Message: The message will be a set of values motivating prosocial behavior, including but not limited to moral values, and the balance among them.
- Receivers: Child and adolescent receivers will be active partners, choosing, negotiating, and transmitting values.
Research Objectives
I will investigate value transmission practices used by interaction partners to convey messages. The specific objectives include:
- Testing the effectiveness of practices in promoting value similarity, moral reasoning, and prosocial behavior.
- Examining interactions between mothers’ and SMIs’ value transmission processes.
Methodology
In 7 studies, I will:
- Longitudinally study mother-child conversations on prosocial behavior in daily life and in social media. Conversations will be analyzed thematically, longitudinally across 2 years, and moment-to-moment.
- Analyze values in SMI content and investigate their relations with follower engagement, applying manual and artificial intelligence coding.
- Experimentally test the effectiveness of value transmission practices, including cases of source disagreement.
Significance of the Project
The project sets the stage for research into value transmission across contexts and cultures. It broadens understanding of the role of family and social media in development and creates a new standard for research methods in child development.
