  • Huolipuhetta ja diginatiiveja : Suomalaisten lasten ja nuorten digitaalisen median käytön tutkimus vuosilta 2015–2020 
    Vaittinen, Henriikka (2022)
    The aim of this research was to find out how the digital media use of Finnish children and young people has been researched and which themes and topics are emphasized in it. The research questions were guided by the generally noted problems and the prevalence of the concern-based research in the research field. Previous research has highlighted, that the theory and methodology of digital media research should be improved (Orben ym., 2020; Granic ym., 2020). Digital media has caused wide concern generally, but especially with children and young people using it (Orben, 2020b). This way of thinking can be seen in the research as well (Orben, 2020b). This research focuses on gaps of the research on the digital media use of Finnish children and youth. The research questions were answered using metascience, which aims to evaluate and improve research practices (Ioannidis ym., 2015). The data is composed of 119 research articles published between 2015 and 2020. Classification and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. The results had a lot in common with the earlier research. Digital media was a popular research topic, cross-sectional studies and self-reported measures were common and open science approaches (Avoimen tieteen koordinaatio, 2020) were rare. Also the age groups of young people and adults were comparatively common, most of the journals were of the basic level (Julkaisufoorumi, 2022) and quantitative research methods were used more often than qualitative methods. The most highly researched theme was digital media use in general. This shows what a diverse phenomenon digital media is. The diversity adds to the need to be thorough with concept definitions used. The research themes showed signs of concern-based research. This point of view stood out from the themes of threats of digital media use and problematic use of digital media. Future research should address these research gaps, add the use of the open science approach and diverse the research themes of digital media use.
