Within the context of regulation of all television advertising, the regulation of children's television advertising as currently practised is discussed, and a description of the legal and self-regulative codes children's advertising must comply with is given. The commercial television industry has voluntarily extended the scope of statutory regulation of advertisements, by self regulation. The author argues that the present balance between participatory regulations by way of voluntary codes developed and administered by the television industry, and external regulations by statutory agencies should shift further towards the TV stations in the future.

AbstractObjectivesTo analyse the nature and content of advertising during children’s popular television viewing times with the specific aims of (i) identifying the proportion of advertising time devoted to confectionery and potentially cariogenic products (those which readily give rise to dental caries, more commonly known as tooth decay); and (ii) determining whether there is a variation in the advertisement of confectionery and other high-sugar products within children’s school holiday time v. outside holiday time.MethodIn five separate one-week periods, the output of the four most popular British children’s commercial television channels was video-recorded during the most popular viewing times for children. In total, 503 h of television were recorded and analysed.ResultsAnalysis of the recordings revealed that 16·4 % of advertising time was devoted to food products; 6·3 % of all advertising time was devoted to potentially cariogenic products. Sugared cereals were the most commonly advertised high-sugar product, followed by sweetened dairy products and confectionery (χ2 = 6524·8, df = 4, P < 0·001). The advertisement of confectionery and high-sugar foods appeared to be influenced by school holidays.ConclusionsHealth-care professionals should be aware of the shift away from the advertisement of confectionery towards the promotion of foods that might be considered healthier but contain large amounts of hidden sugar.

Much research on TV advertising and children is based on assumptions, challenged here, which are bound to lead to laissez faire conclusions. While specific vulnerabilities of children to TV advertising exist, social policy, implying governmental regulation and critical of self-regulation should be based on the general body of sound research into children's responses to their environment.

This chapter studies the logic of traditional innovation by investigating a form of sanctioned Catholic practice. In the eighteenth century, a new movement flourished in many of the most important cities and towns of New Spain. Calling themselves Holy Schools of Christ, these groups combined collective piety sometimes associated with baroque Catholicism, such as the lashing of flesh, with an intense demand for self-regulation of an individual's thoughts and actions. The participants in the Holy Schools might appear as surprisingly modern in their attitude toward controlling the future and their attempts to achieve individual or collective improvement. Yet to characterize this movement as a moment of hybrid modernity in which elements of the past persisted despite a turn toward the modern would be deeply misleading. For the members and supporters of the Holy Schools, innovation required tradition. Individuals of this period, in other words, were often future-oriented without being modern.

In this issue, we are fortunate to welcome a pioneer in readers’ advisory. Duncan Smith has helped shape how we think of readers’ services and how we help our readers find their next good book. But, more than that, he has a passion for RA that shines through his presentations, work, and writing. With other pioneers such as Joyce Saricks, Nancy Pearl, and Nancy Brown, we have shaped our RA practices around appeals, the reference interview model and implicit knowledge. In Bill Crowley’s 2014 article “Time to Rethink Readers’ Advisory Education?,” Crowley questions our current practices and provides thoughtful reflection on a new direction for growing RA. This article, written by Duncan Smith, is a response to Crowley’s thoughts. Addressing some of Crowley’s ideas directly, but also reflecting on what it is to be a professional, Smith presents ideas that should start a dialogue within our profession about how we view RA services, who can be a readers’ advisor, and how we push our services into the future.

Antitrust, which provides a key way to identify the driving forces for self- development and the development of speech behavior have been examined in this article. Some aspects of the influence of antitrust in the social interaction of the child with the environment in various situations of uncertainty and familiar content, the importance of creative achievements of the communicative-speech development of the senior preschooler on the growth of conscious self-regulation of linguistic behavior have been confirmed here. It has been proved that one of the lines of personal potential development is the speech behavior of the child and the presence of creative driving force - antitrust, aimed at creating of the future result of the interaction and making decisions on the subsequent course of the communicative situation based on this image. It has been affirmed that the general mental development of the child, the formation of «preschool maturity» is the base ground for the manifestation of creativity, in particular in communicative activities and the development of antitrusting capabilities of the child as a manifestation of «anticipation of the future», designing as creative prediction, creating images of future activities. It has been made a conclusion concluded that inheritance of cultural traditions, although it provides a person with a tool for the implementation of linguistic communication, but without forming a creative imagination destroys effective meaningful personality traits: integrity, uniqueness, activity, expression, openness, self-development, self-regulation.

Survey and laboratory studies provide support for the self-regulation of prejudice, but it is unclear whether people similarly self-regulate in“real life. Using a phenomenological approach, 153 non-Black participants recalled racial experiences in which they responded in ways they later wished had been different. Participants internally motivated to control prejudice reported discrepancies regardless of their external motivation, but even participants low on internal motivation reported prejudice-related discrepancies if they were externally motivated. Content analysis results are presented to summarize participants discrepancy experiences. Also, most participants discrepancies produced negative self-directed affect and the self-regulation of prejudice in the future. Findings suggest that self-regulation generalizes beyond the laboratory and occurs even among people who are not internally motivated to control their prejudice.
