Risks of 6-12 y.o. children's activity in the digital environment. This is an item-by-item proximity graph showing several clusters of concepts. Two dimensions of risks identified by parents: intrinsic/extrinsic (x, left to right) and high/low tangibility (y, top to bottom). doi.org/10.3390/socs...

Boise State Anthropology is recruiting applicants for our graduate program. The program has a focus on human behavioral ecology. We'll have two fully funded graduate teaching assistantships available. The GTAships are not sufficient (by themselves) to support international students. DM for details!
