Aggressive political opinions and exposure to violent media

Article Abstract:

A survey is conducted using students from two US universities to assess their aggressive political opinions (APO), exposure to violent media, authoritarianism, trait aggressiveness, political leaning, personal experience with crime and demographics to examine the relationship between young people's exposure to media violence and their APO. The results of this study support the relationship between exposure to violent media content and political opinions.

The notion of convergence as an epistemological base for evaluating the effect of violent TV programming on psychologically normal children

Article Abstract:

Previous studies of the effect of violence on television on children with no history of psychological problems have been flawed because they take place in laboratory settings and because researchers are biased against television. More realistic studies are needed to prove television's influence on violent behavior in children.

Toward a broader conceptual framework for research on social stratification, childrearing patterns and media effects

Article Abstract:

Children who are raised in troubled families are more likely to be affected by violent media. It is unclear if this is true because such these children are psychologically predisposed toward being influenced, or because dysfunctional families are more likely to enjoy violent television, movies, music and games.
