There is evidence that suggests that boys who watch violent TV are more likely to be aggressive many years later. Research has indicated that exposure to media violence has both short-term and long-term effects on aggressive behavior. While the short-term effects may disappear after a few hours of watching TV violence, the long-term effects are more concerning. However, it is important to note that not all children who watch violent TV become aggressive, and there are many other factors that contribute to aggressive behavior.
