TV

Social Psychologist
Craig A. Anderson
Testimony on U.S Senate 2000

11. Craig A. Anderson(Senate on March 21, 2000)
“The media violence effect on aggression is bigger than the effect of
exposure to lead on IQ scores in children, the effect of calcium intake
on bone mass, the effect of homework on academic achievement, or
the effect of asbestos exposure on cancer…. High exposure to media
violence is major contributing cause of the high rate violence in U.S.
society”
Move on..!

12. The effect of TV depends on how it is used. We agree
that the TV can give a more accurate, more colorful presentation
of a difficult topic especially sciences. We are aware of numerous
educational benefits of the use of TV as enumerated in this
report. But when used in excess, it can also impair the
development of child/student’s ability to visualize, to be creative
and imaginative.
Post Script

13. Let us use the TV appropriately and
moderately so that we can take
advantage and mitigate its
disadvantages.
