Two weeks ago, a new study published in the journal Science gave fresh evidence of a connection between TV viewing and violence. Psychologist Jeffrey G. Johnson and his research team followed children in 707 families for 17 years. The researchers found that kids who watched more than one hour of TV a day were more likely than other kids to take part in aggressive and violent behavior as they grew older. Says Johnson, the link between TV, with all its violent shows, and aggressive behavior " has gotten to the point where it's overwhelming. "
心理学者Jeffrey G. Johnsonとかれの研究チームは707世帯の子供に対し17年間にわたり調査を行なってきた。結果、研究者らは、1日1時間以上テレビを見る子供は、そうでない子供に比べ、成長するにつれて攻撃的行為、暴力行為に参加する可能性が高いことを発見した。「テレビと暴力的なショー、攻撃行為との関連は、その核心をついている。圧倒的な事実だ。」と Johnson博士は述べた。
