Definition

  • Although the possibility that television may negatively impact its audiences is the subject of frequent discussion, often without the support of research, less frequently entertained is the idea that television viewing may also have positive affects. The general assumption often seems to be that children are passive and do not expend any mental effort while watching television, but the literature in this area does not support this reasoning.
