Abstract

Over the past seven years there has been a tremendous influx of commercial marketing efforts in grades from kindergarten to twelfth grade. Other than anecdotal reports, little is known about the extent of these commercial efforts or about the attitudes of teachers, administrators, students, parents, and the public at large toward this increasing commercial presence. This article is intended to be the first in a series of research projects aimed at better understanding this phenomenon and its impact on children.
