Abstract
The average American child watches three to four hours of television daily. This paper looks at violence on television and how it subliminally effects children. The author argues that the amount of time children watch TV, regardless of content, should be moderated, because it keeps children from doing more beneficial activities such as reading and playing with friends.
From the Paper
"It?s three o?clock in the Smith residence and little Johnny just arrived home from school. He is greeted by his mother, and she asks him how his day was and they talk for a couple minutes, similar to the routine in many households. After they are done talking, Johnny decides that he?s going to watch some television. While Johnny?s mother is ironing in the other room, little does she know that her son was watching the wild coyote attempting to blow the roadrunner?s head off."

Abstract
Statements about the impact of televised violence are not always supported by the research, but may sometimes reflect people's opinions about that issue. There is also a great deal of uncertainty about the impact of televised violence on developing brains, and contradictions within the literature regarding the impact of watching televised violence on children's behavior.

"The Effects of Viewing Televised Violence on Children
Introduction
Statements about the impact of televised violence are not always supported by the research, but may sometimes reflect people's opinions about that issue. There is also a great deal of uncertainty about the impact of televised violence on developing brains, and contradictions within the literature regarding the impact of watching televised violence on children's behavior. Thus, in looking at two different books on child development, one may find different opinions, but little discussion of the available research. One asserted unequivocally that watching televised violence has a variety of negative effects (Leach, 1997). The other book was more..."

"Statements about the impact of televised violence are not always supported by the research, but may sometimes reflect people's opinions about that issue. There is also a great deal of uncertainty about the impact of televised violence on developing brains, and contradictions within the literature regarding the impact of watching televised violence on children's behavior. Thus, in looking at two different books on child development, I found many different opinions, but little discussion of the available research. One asserted unequivocally that watching televised violence has a variety of negative effects (Leach, 1997). The other book was more equivocal noting that there was not adequate research regarding the impact of too much video viewing, in general, on attention problems in children, and that we really do not know what television and video do to the growing brain, even though there are likely to be neurological consequences with any repeated exposure to a stimulus (Healy, 1994)."

"Need for the Study
Shelton (1998) commented that a results of the National television Violence Study confirmed the worst fears of the American Medical Association (AMA) and other public health and
other children's advocates in that [prime time TV violence has been seen as increasingly on both broadcast and cable networks. The study found that much of the aggression that appears no television is glamorized, sanitized, and trivialized. About 60 percent of all entertainment programming was found to contain some type and level of violence, a figure that has remained constant over the past three years (Federman, 1996, 1997, 19980). "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that children learn very rapidly and they are exposed to many scenes of violence on television each day. The writer points out that it is amazing that the majority of parents do not perceive this violence to be destructive for their children's development. Children especially are at a stage in their development where they learn so quickly that they absorb information. They learn from television that the easiest way to solve disputes is through the use of fists or guns. The writer maintains that the problem is that many people do not believe that a clear and definite link exists between children's aggressive behavior and the violence they so regularly observe being depicted on television. The writer concludes that research, especially in the form of longitudinal studies, shows the clear-cut connection between TV violence and children's behavior.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The best studies that have been conducted since 1972 are longitudinal studies related to TV violence and its impact on the attitudes and behavior of children and adolescents. Other studies have consisted of cross sectional and field studies and, together, researchers have made use of all three types in a triangulation strategy to determine the effects of media violence on children. The most convincing studies also are discussed and evaluated by Centerwall, and these researchers also report the findings of professional groups such as the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association. Basically, all of these studies found that physical aggression among children is significantly increased as a result of exposure to violence in television. Other studies reveal a clear link between TV viewing at a young age and later juvenile delinquency and crime."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that both the critical and non-critical debate about the effect of television upon its viewers seems to have begun somewhere probably in the first week or so of the sets being introduced to the public. The consequence of the appearance of television itself was immediate and profound both sociologically and psychologically, as well as economically for some industries. The writer points out that the influence of this medium on our culture as a whole is enormous, for both good and bad results. TV violence has become an extreme issue for the conservative to derogate and for the liberals to defend. The writer discusses what is the reality of the effect of TV violence on us today and especially the more impressionable children that view it. In particular, the paper discusses the current state of the debate and attempts to separate fact from fiction, both on screen and off.
From the Paper
"This same study also inferred that if children, with the help of their parents, take more control over their leisure activities that they may be able to take more control of themselves and their behaviors overall. There is another benefit in that when parents show they are concerned and take an active role in their child's wellbeing, this has the effect of children who see adults caring about them and not just using TV as the built in babysitter. Jones feels that cutting overall consumption is really the key and violence is only a small sub issue over which very little evidence is clear on direct connections. And what is clear is often not very convincing."

A look at the the effects of TV violence on the lives of children. The author includes real life examples and examines the constitutional attack on television violence as child violence escalates. An examination of the debates taking place.
From the Paper
"In most people?s homes there sits an outlet for violence that often goes unnoticed. It is the television, and the children who view it are often pulled into its realistic world of violent scenes with sometimes devastating results. Most parents don?t realize what their children are being exposed to. They know that their children are watching TV, whether they know what they?re watching or not, and how it can affect them later in life is a different story."

"Television viewing has become one of the most prevalent pastimes in the United States, with violence one of the most common acts portrayed on television shows, network and cable alike. Because of this, social psychologists have studied the effects of violent television on aggressive behavior.
The two major theories concerning television aggression are frustration-aggression and social learning; each theory makes different predictions about the effects of television violence. The frustration-aggressive theory suggests that viewing an aggressive act will lessen the instigation toward future aggression. If children vicariously experience aggression by watching violence on TV, they should therefore be less likely to aggress. Social learning theory, on the other hand, suggests that witnessed aggression leads to more aggression rather than..."

"THE EFFECTS OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE ON CHILD BEHAVIOR: SUMMARY
This study examined the relationship between viewing by children of television programming with violent content and manifestations of violent or aggressive behavioral tendencies by children. This study is important because criminal activity generally and violent behavior particularly committed by children in the United States is increasing as the overall rates of both violent and non-violent crime in this country are declining to some extent.
Social learning theory is posited as the way in which viewing violent programming on television is translated into violent behavior by children. Children begin to imitate adult behaviors at the earliest ages. The ability to imitate behavior is both useful and necessary for child development. While.."

"Investigation of a Strategy to Reduce the Negative Effects of Television Violence on Young Children
I. Introduction
The proposed research will examine for the effects of a strategy (Media Literacy Discussion Group) designed to reduce the effects of tv violence on a sample of first grade boys. As to why such a study is needed, it can be noted that, if nothing else, the recent school shootings in Littleton, Colorado highlight the fact that school violence has reached epidemic proportions in ~,American Schools. According to the Center for the Prevention of School Violence (1998), research conducted from 1989 through 1998, revealed that during the period of the data collection:
1. Fifty seven percent of public school principals reported one or more incidents of crime/violence occurring in their school..."

" Introduction
Research studies report that television and the media are one of the most important influences on children and adolescents. Television effects many aspects of health and behavior, a matter of particular concern is the effect of TV violence on children. Cross-sectional studies, naturalistic studies, longitudinal studies, and meta-analyses all demonstrate a cause and effect relationship has been found between media violence and real-life aggression. The Surgeon General's Report (1972) and the National Institute of Mental Health (1982) also confirmed these findings. The effect size for media violence is computed to be 5% to 15%. With this confirmation of detrimental effect, research focuses more on the factors involved .."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the apparent effects of TV violence on aggression in children and adolescents have long been suspected. The writer points out that the effect of violent video games on children's aggression is not so well known. This paper explores the relationship between exposure to violent television and video games and the development of aggression in children and adolescents. The paper explains that this link is extremely important because in recent years in North America there has been a noticeable increase in children's violence. The writer maintains that if a strong link can be found between TV and video game violence, this could have implications for reducing and controlling the degree of violence that is presently witnessed in society. The writer concludes that the research into the effects of TV and video violence on child and adolescent aggression suggests that a certain child or adolescent under very specific conditions will very likely act out aggression after viewing a violent TV program or video game.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sherry conducted a meta-analysis of research into video games and found that the effect of violent video games on aggression in children is less than what results from violent TV programming. The video games studies ranged over the 25-year period from 1975 to 2000. An analysis was made of all the studies during that time by analyzing the results of those studies. The effects of the more violent and graphic games were compared with the less violent games. The most important finding from this meta-analysis was that the longer the children were exposed to violent video games, the less of an effect was produced on aggression. It appeared that the children and adolescents had to be already angered and aggressive before the video game began in order for it to produce any effect. Other researchers have also observed that video games are different in their effect on aggression from TV. According to Browne and Hamilton-Giachritsis, video games merely amplify the effect which already exists of aggressive feelings and thoughts in the child or adolescent."

Abstract
This literature review is all about television violence and the effects on youth. The author attempts to examine whether television consumption cause children to imitate behavior. The author includes an examination of how parent involvement interacts. This research includes statistics as proof variables.
From the paper:
"Television is a part of life. Virtually every household has a television set and many homes have two or three (Ledingham, 1993). Needless to say, television plays an enormous role in the lives of many American families and the magnitude of its influence on people is considerable also. This is especially true where children are involved. According to Liebert & Sprafkin (1988), "television viewing time rises from about 2.5 hours per day at the age of five to about 4 hours a day at the age of 12." Ledingham goes on to say that "television is used frequently by parents as a babysitter or distraction device" (1993)."

"The purpose of this research is to examine whether television violence causes aggression in children. The plan of the research will be to set in historical context the rising concern over this issue, and then to focus on experimental, correlational, and longitudinal psychological research demonstrating that there is compelling evidence in the professional literature that television violence causes children to be aggressive. As appropriate, competing philosophical and theoretical positions on the connection between violent television programming and real-life violence will be alluded to, with a view toward suggesting implications and forecasting possible lines of development of resolution of difficulties posed by that connection.

"EFFECTS OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE ON CHILD BEHAVIOR: A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Introduction: Statement of the Research Problem
Several studies have reported a high correlation between exposure to violent television programming and violent behavioral tendencies among children (Lazar, 1994, pp. 3-19; Ridley, Surdy, & O?Laughlin, 1991, pp. 63-71; Clark, 1995, pp. 1019-1021). In spite of these findings and others, however, the causal link between viewing violence on television and imitative child behavior continues to be a controversial issue (Tulloch, 1995, pp. 96-115).
This research develops a proposal to examine the relationship between viewing by children of television programming.."
