CHILDHOOD TV VIOLENCE VIEWING AND ADULT AGGRESSION

我们建议测试广泛的幼儿教育 接触媒体暴力会促进接受侵略的态度， 青少年的攻击性行为、反社会行为和犯罪行为 成年人了 与最近对社会学习的认知阐述雅阁 理论，我们的假设是， 在幼儿期，接触媒体暴力的影响最大， 在成年早期影响最大。 具体而言，我们计划开展四项平行的后续研究， 20岁出头的受试者最初接受了测试和采访， 这些调查人员在14到15年前， 一年级或三年级。 这四个样本的儿童具有代表性 四个不同国家（芬兰、波兰、以色列 和美国），以便更好地概括结果 在社会系统中。 其中一项研究将是对748个芝加哥地区的随访 最初在1976-77年研究的儿童（Huesmann，Lagerspetz 和Eron，1984年）。 在这个样本中， 接受了一种治疗，成功地降低了他们的攻击性， 在最初的研究中（Huesmann，Eron，Klein，布鲁斯和Fischer， 1983年）。 将特别努力定位和测试这一点， 亚群 第二项研究将对221名芬兰儿童进行随访 最初在1978年进行了测试;第三项研究将是237项后续研究。 波兰儿童最初于1979年学习;第四项研究将于 对186名以色列儿童（一半在城市长大，一半在基布兹长大）进行随访， 1981年，他们首次接受采访。 的结果予以 一些文章和一份报告中报告了初步调查情况。 （Huesmann and Eron，1986）。 根据这些后续研究的纵向数据， 1）我们希望能够更清楚地确定 童年早期习惯性的媒体暴力 对认知和行为的影响，2）确定什么是家庭或 儿童特征可能会加剧或减轻这种纵向 （3）确定这些影响的程度。 概括了这四个国家所代表的四种文化， 研究了 此外，在美国，我们希望能够 评估干预措施在多大程度上实现了高效率， 1978年和1979年的暴力观众没有任何持久的影响。

We propose to test the extent to which extensive early-childhood exposure to media violence promotes attitudes accepting of aggression, aggressive behavior, antisocial behavior, and criminality in young adults. In accord with recent cognitive elaborations of social learning theory, our hypothesis is that subjects whose behaviors and cognitions in early childhood are most affected by exposure to media violence weill evidence the greatest influence in early adulthood. Specifically, we plan to carry out four parallel follow-up studies of subjects in their early 20's who were originally tested and interviewed by these investigators 14 to 15 years earlier whent the children were in the 1st or 3rd grade. The four samples of children are representative of urban populations in four different coutries (Finland, Poland, Israel and the United States) allowing for greater generalization of results across social systems. One studywill be a follow-up of 748 Chicago area children who were originally studied in 1976-77 (Huesmann, Lagerspetz and Eron, 1984). A sub-group of high TV-violence viewers in this sample had received a treatment which successfully reduced their aggressiveness during the original study (Huesmann, Eron, Klein, Bruce and Fischer, 1983). Particular effort will be directed at locating and testing this subgroup. The second study will be a follow-up of 221 Finnish children originally tested in 1978; the third study will be a follow-up of 237 Polish children originally studied in 1979; and the fourth study will be a follow-up of 186 Israeli children (half city raised, half Kibbutz raised) who were originally interviewed in 1981. The results of these initial investigations have been reported in a number of articles and a book (Huesmann and Eron, 1986). On the basis of the longitudinal data that these follow-up studies will provide, 1) We expect to be able to identify more clearly the extent to which habitual early childhood exposure to media violence has lasting effects on cognitions and behaviors, 2) to determine what familial or child characteristics might exacerbate or mitigate such longitudinal effects, and 3) to determine the extent to which these effects generalize across the four cultures represented by the four countries studied. In addition, in the United States we expect to be able to evaluate the extent to which the intervention delivered to the high violence viewers in 1978 and 1979 had any lasting effects.
