An analysis of the behavioral content and character portrayals in children's Saturday morning television programs was conducted on two Saturdays representative of the 1974–75 broadcast season. A high amount of aggression was found on the commercial networks. In contrast, the public broadcasting network offered less than 25% of the amount of violence shown on the commercial stations. Of five categories of positive social behavior, only two appeared with meaningful frequency: altruism and sympathy/explaining feelings. Character analyses revealed bias, both in the frequency of appearance of different sex and racial/ethnic groups and in the character portrayals of those groups. The findings are discussed in terms of potential socializing effects on children. |
