SUMMARY:From Teletubbies to TikTok algorithms: The evolution of media use a
 nd effects.
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Patti Valkenburg reflects on 30 years of
  media research\, tracing how media evolved from mass-produced television 
 to social media's personalized algorithms. Focusing on youth mental health
 \, she pioneered a shift from average-based media effects research toward 
 an approach based on individual susceptibility. Her work shows that a spec
 ific group of teens – roughly 10 to 20 percent – is highly susceptible
  to social media's negative effects. No two children are alike. By moving 
 beyond average effects\, science can now pinpoint who is vulnerable to med
 ia effects and why. She concludes by explaining why understanding individu
 al susceptibility is critical for effective digital policy.\\r\\nProf. Dr 
 Patti Valkenburg\, Professor Emerita at the University of Amsterdam (2013
 –2025)\, conducts research into the effects of media on children and you
 ng people. She has received numerous awards for her pioneering research\, 
 including the Spinoza Prize\, the highest academic honour in the Netherlan
 ds. Her book *Plugged In* is available via Open Access and has been transl
 ated into four languages.\\r\\nAfter the talk\, participants are invited t
 o an Apéro.\\r\\nIf you would like to participate in this event\, please
