Description

Introduction Children between the ages of 2 and 18 years view all forms of media--including online and other electronic games--an average of 38 to 45 hours weekly (Roberts, Foehr, Rideout, & Brodie, 1999; Woodard & Gridina, 2000). At least 26 of these hours are spent watching television (National Center for Children Exposed to Violence, 2003). Of particular concern is that more than 60% of all television programs show violence (Seawell, 1998). Typically, children are likely to see 8,000 murders and at least 100,000 other acts of violence prior to leaving elementary school at age 12 years (Huston et al., 1992). Many people who are interested in children's well-being are concerned about possible detrimental effects of these violent images. It is of interest that Robinson, Wilde, Navracruz, Haydel, and Varady (2001) showed that a reduction in television, videotape, and video game use decreased aggressive behavior in elementary school children.
