His child and youth research was based on the paradigms of the Frankfurt School and the socio-ecological approach of socialization by Urie Bronfenbrenner . In dealing with existing media-critical theories and action-oriented theories of socialization, he developed his model of the social ecology of the media. He emphasized the individual and social importance of the media in the context of development.
