Abstract

Much research has been done regarding the impacts of violence on television on children and adolescents. Many people, including myself, have no idea of the extensive amount of research available. This literature review served as a tool to bring together the most important research done on the topic of television violence. Many sources were discovered, obtaining a broad view of the many opinions about television violence and its effects. The three major effects of TV violence on children are discussed, followed by researchers' ideas on how to better television programming for the children of our society.
