Violent television programming

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research suggests that violent television programming increases the likelihood of hostile thoughts and emotions in children. There is some debate about whether these effects are long-term, but the short-term increases in aggression are relatively well-established. There is also some evidence to suggest that violent television programming can increase the likelihood of aggressive behaviors, particularly in children who are already prone to aggression. However, it is not accurate to say that violent television programming helps children learn the consequences of misbehavior, as the consequences of violence are often not accurately portrayed on television.
