class=”c3″> Study conducted by the University of Glasgow in Scotland finds link between children with bad behavior and television.
The study investigated whether parental fears around the TV really have unfounded and wanted to study whether certain behavioral problems or social development could be linked to watching too much television.
The methodology of the study conducted by the University of Glasgow analyzed a sample of 11,000 children born early in the new millennium in the UK, so that would ensure that children have access to a television. Mothers of children would report the number of hours their children spend in front of the TV watching programs or playing video games at five years of age.
Mothers also had to qualify the psychological and social skills on a scale of 1 to 10, once when the children were five and two years later when had seven.
Researchers analyzed the adaptability of children in terms of how many hours of television they had seen when they were five years and studied from the most general in his life (how socioeconomic status ) and more specific (like “family functioning” and “household chaos”).
The results showed a small increase in behavioral problems, children who watched an average of three or more hours of television at the age of five developed antisocial behavior at seven class=”c7″> attitudes manifested by violent fights, theft or bullying class=”c7″> and further lied and cheated. Children who spent the same or more time playing video games did not exhibit antisocial behavior.
Despite the results, the researchers found no link between hours of television watched and emotional state of children (either positively or negatively), meaning that not affect emotional symptoms, hyperactivity, inattention, social skills or empathy.
The researchers see the implications of three or more hours of television a day justify concern of parents. The study also noted that the percentage of children who watch about 3 hours of television is low (only 15%) showing that most parents consider it a bit much, while only 2% of children do not see no TV and 3% over 7 hours watching television.
The main fault is that research did not study the type of program that saw children, an educational program or a program for adults. The results are undeniable however, the fact that 0.13% of children exhibit a change in behavior demonstrates that the hours opposite affects the television itself. But for now there is no evidence to support educational programs that help children learn in the classroom, or to prevent their social development.
There is an undeniable truth: children are educated at home and go to school to learn, so that the values ??instilled in them at home are the values ??that reflected from day to day. Parents who expect television to teach your children the rules of social behavior have to reassess their own behavior and to remember that what children learn in their formative years will accompany the rest of their lives.
