Noemi Wants to Do Something Concrete to Help Reduce the Harmful

Noemi wants to do something concrete to help reduce the harmful effects of TV violence on her children, but she does not want to ban all their favourite shows.Because she is an authoritarian parent, she simply tells her children to turn off the TV whenever she catches one of them watching a program with violent content, and she refuses to listen to why they are interested in the program.Is Noemi's strategy likely to be effective?

A) No, she should explain her concerns and instead encourage her children to watch nonviolent programs that provide prosocial models of behaviour.
B) No, she should also watch the violent programs with her children and help them critique the programs by commenting on the consequences of violent acts, antisocial motives, etc.
C) Yes, because she is reinforcing the message that the aggression shown in the programs her children prefer is undesirable.
D) Yes, because strict rules are generally the best way to reduce unwanted behaviours, especially when the punisher is absent.
