Describe the Media Practice Model of the uses and gratifications theory in terms of adolescents' active uses of media, noting three categories of active uses. Provide an example
What will be an ideal response
Selection – each adolescent's identity motivates the selection of media products (e.g., Jessica, who enjoys sports selects Sports Illustrated Magazine) • Interaction – the products are evaluated and interpreted (e.g., Jessica enjoys the articles in the magazine that highlight female athletes, but boycotts the Swimsuit Edition because she thinks it is sexist and portrays women as objects) • Application – the adolescents engage in application of the media content they have chosen (e.g., Jessica responds to the Swimsuit edition by rejecting the models as a false ideal; Jessica responds to the articles about female athletes in terms of role models for her own progress as an athlete and striving to achieve goals)
