Measuring time spent with media: the Common Sense census of media use by US 8- to 18-year-olds
Abstract
As the types of media activities and devices available to youth have multiplied, it has become increasingly challenging to measure the amount of time young people spend with media. But although it is difficult to do so, it is still possible, and even though the methods we have are imperfect, they still offer valuable information. Detailed measures of time spent with media can offer insights into what “screen time” consists of for young people today. The commentary offers examples from data collected for the non-profit organization Common Sense through a nationally representative, probability-based survey of 2,658 8- to 18-year-olds in the US in 2015. The data challenge several commonly held assumptions, and confirm others. The commentary includes findings concerning young people’s engagement in media activities such as watching TV and online videos, playing video, mobile and computer games, using social media, reading, listening to music, and using computers, tablets, and smartphones to access the internet.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
