Abstract
The data for this study were collected in november/december 2020 (wave 2 of longitudinal project; only wave 2 in this dataset) among children (8-13 years old) who filled out an online survey. The aim of our project was to unravel how mechanisms related to news consumption and news avoidance are related to one another. Therefore we measured children's news consumption, news avoidance, negative emotions, anxiety-related behaviors, parental mediation and reactive coping strategies. We used SEM in R to build the model and to test our hypotheses and RQ (see NoNewsTodayRScript for the script of our analyses). For more information about the method of this study, see NoNewsTodayMethods.
The variables were constructed by several items measured on likert-scales (see NoNewsTodayVariables for concise descriptions of these variables).
