ABSTRACT
Television violence and the impact it has on children
is a growing concern in the world today. Although research indicates
that violence on television triggers aggressive behavior in children,
the characteristics of those children also need to be examined.
Factors such as age, intellectual level, identification with
television personalities, the total amount of television watched, and
the belief that television is realistic affect the influences of
television violence on behavior. Intervention techniques such as
child and parent training have proven successful in diminishing the
negative of television violence. (Contains 30 references.)
