Young People's Use of Entertainment Mediums
Because young people are key stakeholders in New Zealand's classification system, the Classification Office is very interested in hearing about how they use the different sorts of entertainment they have access to.
In 2006 we surveyed 460 students
In 2006 the Classification Office decided to find out what sorts of movies, DVDs and video games young people in New Zealand were watching and playing, how often, and whether they thought these things influenced their thoughts and actions.

In 2010 we repeated this survey to see if things had changed
The types of films and games, and the technology of mobile phones and the Internet, are constantly evolving. As these things change, the way people use them tends to change as well - though some things stay the 
same!
In 2010 we updated our snapshot of how young people in New Zealand are using DVDs, video games, mobile phones and the Internet. This study repeated some of the aspects of the 2006 research into the same area and introduced some new angles.
Check out the 2010 research so you can see how things have changed (or stayed the same!)
