Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research on viewing television violence has shown a variety of types of studies that indicate viewing violence does cause aggression. This includes longitudinal studies, experimental studies, and cross-sectional studies. The effect size may not be as large as 2.00, but the overall evidence still suggests a significant relationship between viewing violence and aggression. Option A is therefore incorrect. Option B is only partially true, as some longitudinal studies have found a correlation between TV violence and aggression. Option D is not supported by any research evidence.
