Human Growth and Development / Unit 6 HGD 0800 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Media Violence and Co-Viewing
Captions available
The idea
Heavy viewing of aggressive content is associated with aggression, hyperactivity and poorer self-regulation, though most viewers do not become aggressive.
In practice
A parent watching an educational programme alongside a child and talking about it afterward.
Where people slip
Co-viewing is linked to gains in language, literacy and reasoning. Associations with violent media are correlations, open to third variables.
