Abstract: | Criticizes the use of the peer rating instrument in the L. D. Eron et al (see record 1973-09034-001) study that implied a causal relationship between watching TV violence at age 8 yrs and behaving aggressively at age 18 yrs. Contrary to the Eron et al conclusion, the link between TV violence and aggression has not been clearly established. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
