FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Does violence on TV lead to violent behaviour? How does screen time impact child development? What is the effect of advertising on a childs behaviour? Twenty years after the publication of the first edition of Children and Television, these issues remain as pertinent as ever. In the new Classic Edition of this core textbook, Gunter and Gunter present research evidence into the effects of television on children and their responses to it. This comprehensive work examines a wide range of issues, including childrens knowledge of television and how it impacts social roles, aggressive behaviour, advertising, health orientation and both good and bad behaviour, and concludes that children are sophisticated viewers and control television far more than it controls them.

This book is essential reading for postgraduate and undergraduate students taking courses on child development and family studies.
