Preferred term

susceptibility to television violence  

Definition

  • Within the field of communication, television violence is perhaps one of the most frequently and exhaustively researched topic, and for good reason. Several content analyses, particularly those conducted by George Gerbner and colleagues (beginning in 1967) and the National Television Violence Study indicate that violent images are pervasive on television and that children's television tends to be especially violent.
