11/1/2015 Advertising to children: Is it ethical? http://www.apa.org/print-this.aspx 1/3 A d v e rtis in g  to  c h ild re n : Is  it e th ic a l? Som e psychologists cry foul as peers help advertisers target young consum ers. By REBECCA A. CLAY September 2000, Vol 31, No. 8 Print version: page 52 FEATURE Som e psychologists cry foul as peers help advertisers target young consum ers. BY REBECCA A. CLAY Ever since he first started practicing, Berkeley, Calif., psychologist Allen D. Kanner, PhD, has been asking his younger clients what they wanted to do when they grew up. The answer used to be “nurse,” “astronaut” or some other occupation with intrinsic appeal. Today the answer is more likely to be “make money.” For Kanner, one explanation for that shift can be found in advertising. “Advertising is a massive, multi­million dollar project that’s having an enormous impact on child development,” says Kanner, who is also an associate faculty member at a clinical psychology training program called the W right Institute. “The sheer volume of advertising is growing rapidly and invading new areas of childhood, like our schools.” According to Kanner, the result is not only an epidemic of materialistic values among children, but also something he calls “narcissistic wounding” of children. Thanks to advertising, he says, children have become convinced that they’re inferior if they don’t have an endless array of new products. Now Kanner and several colleagues are up­in­arms about psychologists and others who are using psychological knowledge to help marketers target children more effectively. They’re outraged that psychologists and others are revealing such tidbits as why 3­ to 7­year­olds gravitate toward toys that transform themselves into something else and why 8­ to 12­ year­olds love to collect things. Last fall, Kanner and a group of 59 other psychologists and psychiatrists sent a controversial letter protesting psychologists’ involvement to APA. In response, at its June meeting, APA’s Board of Directors acted on a recommendation from the Board for the 11/1/2015 Advertising to children: Is it ethical? http://www.apa.org/print-this.aspx 2/3 Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest and approved the creation of a task force to study the issue. The task force will examine the research on advertising’s impact on children and their families and develop a research agenda. The group will look at the role psychologists play in what some consider the exploitation of children and consider how psychology can help minimize advertising’s harmful effects and maximize its positive effects. The group will also explore implications for public policy. Task force members will be chosen in consultation with Div. 37 (Child, Youth and Family Services) and other relevant divisions. Unethical practices? The letter protesting psychologists’ involvement in children’s advertising was written by Commercial Alert, a W ashington, D.C., advocacy organization. The letter calls marketing to children a violation of APA’s mission of mitigating human suffering, improving the condition of both individuals and society, and helping the public develop informed judgments. Urging APA to challenge what it calls an “abuse of psychological knowledge,” the letter asks APA to: Issue a formal, public statement denouncing the use of psychological principles in marketing to children. Amend APA’s Ethics Code to limit psychologists’ use of their knowledge and skills to observe, study, mislead or exploit children for commercial purposes. Launch an ongoing campaign to investigate the use of psychological research in marketing to children, publish an evaluation of the ethics of such use, and promote strategies to protect children against commercial exploitation by psychologists and others using psychological principles. “The information psychologists are giving to advertisers is being used to increase profits rather than help children,” says Kanner, who helped collect signatures for the letter. “The whole enterprise of advertising is about creating insecure people who believe they need to buy things to be happy. I don’t think most psychologists would believe that’s a good thing. There’s an inherent conflict of interest.” Advertisers’ efforts seem to work. According to marketing expert James U. McNeal, PhD, author of “The Kids Market: Myths and Realities” (Paramount Market Publishing, 1999), children under 12 already spend a whopping $28 billion a year. Teen­ agers spend $100 billion. Children also influence another $249 billion spent by their parents. The effect this rampant consumerism has on children is still unknown, says Kanner. In an informal literature review, he found many studies about how to make effective ads but not a single study addressing ads’ impact on children. Instead, he points to research done by Tim Kasser, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill. In a series of studies, Kasser has found that people who strongly value wealth and related traits tend to have higher levels of distress and lower levels of well­being, worse relationships and less connection to their communities. “Psychologists who help advertisers are essentially helping them manipulate children to believe in the capitalistic message, when all the evidence shows that believing in that message is bad for people,” says Kasser. “That’s unethical.” Driving out psychologists Psychologists who help companies reach children don’t agree. Take W hiton S. Paine, PhD, an assistant professor of business studies at Richard Stockton College in Pomona, N.J. As principal of a Philadelphia consulting firm called Kid2Kid, Paine helps Fortune 500 companies market to children. Paine has no problem with launching a dialogue about psychologists’ ethical responsibilities or creating standards similar to ones used in Canada and Europe to protect children from commercial exploitation. Such activities will actually help his business, he says, by giving him leverage when clients want to do something that would inadvertently harm children. W hat Paine does have a problem with is driving psychologists out of the business. “If you remove ethical psychologists from the decision­making process in an ad’s creation, who’s left?” he asks. “People who have a lot less sensitivity to the unique vulnerabilities of children.” Others who have read the proposal point out that psychological principles are hardly confidential. “W e can’t stop alcohol or tobacco companies from using the basic research findings and theories found in textbooks and academic journals,” says Curtis P. Haugtvedt, PhD, immediate past president of Div. 23 (Consumer Psychology) and an associate professor of marketing at Ohio State University in Columbus. “The same issue exists for all sciences: the information is available in public libraries.” The problem with trying to regulate the use of psychological principles is that “people acting in ways psychologists find objectionable probably aren’t members of APA anyway,” says Haugtvedt, who received a copy of the Commercial Alert letter. He believes that having general guidelines as to appropriate uses and areas of concern would be beneficial to all 11/1/2015 Advertising to children: Is it ethical? http://www.apa.org/print-this.aspx 3/3 Find this article at: http://www.apa.org/monitor/sep00/advertising.aspx parties. Daniel S. Acuff, PhD, for example, draws on the child development courses he took during his graduate schooling in education to advise such clients as Disney, Hasbro and Kraft. His book “W hat Kids Buy and W hy: The Psychology of Marketing to Kids” (Free Press, 1997) draws on child development research to show product developers and marketers how to reach children more effectively. To Acuff, the letter to APA is not only an “unconstitutional” attempt to limit how professionals make their living but also a misguided overgeneralization. Since Acuff and his partner started their business in 1979, they have had a policy guiding their choice of projects. As a result, they turn down assignments dealing with violent video games, action figures armed with weapons and other products they believe are bad for children. Their work focuses instead on products that they consider either good for children or neutral, such as snacks and sugary foods parents can use as special treats. The letter to APA fails to acknowledge that psychological principles can be used for good as well as bad, he says. “I don’t agree with black­and­white thinking,” says Acuff, president of Youth Market Systems Consulting in Sherman Oaks, Calif. “Psychology in itself is neither good nor bad. It’s just a tool like anything else.” Rebecca A. Clay is a writer in W ashington, D.C.

ENGLISH 1301 3/28/2021 In the video “Marketing Food to Children,” Anna Lappe is explaining how industries, especially the food industry the way it is investing large amounts of money in advertising their products to children and teenagers. The under-aged are being manipulated to consume products that pose great harm to their bodies. According to me, advertising to children and teenagers is wrong, significantly if it does not add any value to their healthy being. Young people are an easy target to industries since they are easier to convince about something. The fact that they are easy to be confident puts them at a higher risk of making wrong decisions without careful consideration. The video was conducted, but Anna Lappe reveals that several young people are getting diseases related to such products’ consumption. Nearly all the food products advertised are not healthy for children since they are high in fat, sugar and other food sweeteners and preservatives that pose harm to children’s’ health progressively for a long time. It is not okay for junk foods to be expressed as healthy and without sugar, whereas there are many other ingredients. It has become challenging for parents to keep track of what their children are watching and consuming. It is beyond the parents’ reach to control what their children are watching since the industries are advertising their products everywhere, even in schools. The sectors that invested more in children, since they become royal customers for their brand in all their lives. It is more difficult to convince parents to buy cokes or other junk foods for their children than to convince young individuals to consume them or add pressure to their parents to buy that particular brand of products. According to my understanding, the industries are doing the wrong thing by using what children love, for example, cartoon characters, to add pressure on children to consume the products they are producing despite the adverse effects it brings to their bodies. The TED Talk begins when Anna Lappe sets the tone for the presentation by putting her audience in an emotional state where she asked the audience to think of a child that matters for them so much. She later introduces her daughter to the audience and narrates how the best friend of her two-year-old daughter, who happens to be “Dora the explorer,” a cartoon character, influenced her child to be obsessed with band-aids. It reached a point where her baby would also pretend that her head is hurt so that her mother could buy for her such band-aids. Lappe also states how industries have realized how they will be using cartoon characters to sell their products. The food industry spends more than two billion dollars per year as their marketing budget for advertisements, mostly on children and teenagers. This has led to many adverse effects on the young generation since they are consuming more junk foods, which worsens their health. Most young individuals are being affected by diet-related illnesses due to the pressure created by such companies. Marketing to young people has increased brand loyalty and grants them the pester power to ask their parents to buy certain fast foods. Now children can influence their parents to purchase something that was not in their budget. Despite being labelled as healthy, fast food are full of fat, sugar and various salts that are not good for young people’s health. Their main aim is to make children eat more of their products and not care about their healthy being. Fast food companies are now teaming up with junk food companies to expand their public institutions’ markets to promote their brand loyalties. Target marketing has been highly applied and race-based. Many African-American young people are targeted to view ads of sugary drinks, which has led to them being hit the hardest by diet-related illnesses. Even though the junk food companies say that they have reduced their marketing on children, but the reality is that they are just trying to change and spread in different platforms where they can get access to young people. Anna states that everyone’s responsibility is to ensure that we have taken care of our children, who we love. Campaigns have also been set to prevent fast food companies from advertising for children; I agree that it is not the role of fast-food companies to have parenting practices. Children are very innocent and do not have all the required knowledge to determine who is telling them the truth and lying. Therefore, I agree with Lappe in her TED Talk about “Marketing Food for Children” since children are being deceived by grownups whose intentions are only for making profits. It does not make sense to put ads on young people who do not have a responsibility to take care of themselves since they are not mature enough mentally and physically to make their own decisions. It is excellent to sponsor children with writing books and other learning materials, but it is not right to print them with products that will not add any value to them or their studies. This is doing the right things for the wrong reasons. The advertisers do not reveal the side effects of consuming their products; the information about their products is sugarcoated to manipulate the young individuals. This is because children are only attracted to sweet foods; they do not care about the ingredients that have been put of anything. Finally, the fast-food companies and junk food companies should not give themselves the responsibility of parenting. Advising and telling children about what suits them best is the role of their parents. There is a conflict that can be recognized when a parent advises the child to eat something healthy, and then companies like Donald advises children to eat healthy junk foods which are not free. The government should ban all the advertisements and sponsorship that are happening even in schools that are a snare to them, not knowing they are being targeted. Moreover, the companies should be regulated such that companies are advised not to put a lot of chemicals in foods. Marketing food to children has led to more disadvantages than advantages. This is because the marketing techniques are more advanced so that the young individuals are listening to their parents less. A high percentage of the time, the children are being fed with information about foods that looks compelling but have substantial side effects. Marketing should only be limited to parents, thus imposing less pressure on children, which most of them are false.

Amjad 1 ENGLISH 1301 5/4/2021 Profitable Business Children are our weakness point and when they are surrounded and being hunted we should stand up and do some actions to prevent the risks coming their way, by changing the circumstances. Building awareness to our children and help them understand the way things work and what is valuable to us either was it a toy to collect or a video game to spend hours on or a movie to watch or food to put in our body, stick the How and Why questions in their mind to explain the whole image in their mind and they should be smart so when they grow up they open a big companies just like the advertisement companies to make a profit out of the people who want their products and don’t be one of the targeted people.
