Essay on Child Psychology
Perhaps no topic involving youth violence has been discussed more than whether watching violence on television causes children to act aggressively. Psychologists and non-psychologists alike have debated the extent to which watching violence on television affects children's aggression. The possible relationships between television violence and children's aggression are multiple and potentially complex. First, there might be no relationship at all. Second, there might be a correlational relationship (presumably positive in nature) between the extent to which children watch violent television shows and their actual aggressive behavior. If such an association does exist, then other possibilities also loom. For example, watching violence on television might cause aggressive behavior. However, it is also possible that having an aggressive personality might cause children to watch violence on television (a situation you recognize as a child-effects position). It is also possible that both watching violence on television and being aggressive might be caused by some third variable (e.g., neglectful parenting).
Finally, watching violence on television might not cause aggressive behavior per se but might do so in interaction with one or more other variables. For example, violent television programs might not have an adverse effect on most children, but might be deleterious for certain vulnerable children.
My research of this involves six statewide national schools, which involves children from two separate samples, one from a small city and the second from two cooperative communities in which the children are typically reared apart from their parents in “children's houses”.
In general, the design and the variables studied will be similar across statewide schools. Two initial cohort groups will be selected from each school (one from the first grade and one from the third grade, except for the school from the cooperative community, where the cohort groups are second graders and fourth graders). Each cohort group will be then followed for 3 months.................
