  • Title: Television viewing and violence in children: the pediatrician as agent for change.
    Author: Sege R, Dietz W.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1994 Oct; 94(4 Pt 2):600-7. PubMed ID: 7936885.
    Abstract:
    Three decades of research suggest a causal link between exposure of children to violent images on television and subsequent violent behavior. The epidemic of violence in American society mandates a critical reappraisal of the televised images that children see. To slow the cycle of violence, pediatricians can: (1) Help shape parental attitudes toward children's viewing habits; (2) lobby for school systems to adopt curricula that include critical viewing skills; and (3) work with Congress, Federal regulators, television producers, and broadcasters to reduce the exposure of children to televised violence.
