The Effects of Violence in Television Programs on Social Behavior of Preschoolers: Parents Perceptions
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of television violence on the social behavior of preschoolers. The design of the study was descriptive based on survey research. The population of the study consisted of all the mothers of a preschooler in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample comprised of 92 mothers of preschoolers of Allama Iqbal town Lahore and data were collected through a questionnaire. The findings of the present study show that there was an immense effect of television violence on the social behavior of preschoolers. Children apply things learned from television in their daily life, and the violence anticipated on television also promotes aggressive behavior.
