Televised Aggression and Prosocial Behavior

  • Chapter

Abstract

The advent of television is one of the most significant changes in people’s lives in the 20th century. Television spread so quickly after its introduction in the post-World War II period that the majority of American homes had television sets by the mid-1950s. By the end of the 1960s, a higher percentage of American homes had television sets than refrigerators or indoor plumbing. At the present time, close to half of American homes have two or more televisions.
