Conflicting Cultures: Reflections on the Reading and Viewing of Secondary-School Pupils.
Benton, Peter
Oxford Review of Education, v21 n4 p457-70 Dec 1995
Surveys the reading and viewing habits of British teenagers. Discovers that, although U.S. horror fiction (R. L. Stine, Stephen King) tops the lists, a wide diversity exists among the less popular authors. Reveals marked gender differences in amount of time spent viewing videos, television, and computer games.
