Abstract

In designing communication technology for children, it is important to understand the affective benefits and costs introduced by a particular medium. We present an Affective Benefits and Costs of Communication Technologies Questionnaire appropriate for use with native English-speaking children aged 8--10. We discuss the iterative design and testing of the survey instrument and provide the current survey items.
