Does the mistunderstanding of distingishing fiction from reality on TV lead to negative behaviour in children?
Answer:
No, the lack of parenting skills of their parents is.
Again, like your violence question, there is no connective causality. Much depends on the child in general.
You can cite specific cases, but none that can be converted to a pernicious problem
I don't think so called reality TV shows are suitable viewing for children, but to answer your question,yes.
yes. And not only in children but adults too.
The brain doesn't arrive to discriminate very well between real or fictional, even when the logic thought is on
doesn't necessarily, but can though.
TV has been here long enough now for all this to have been understood I would have thought...I would say not, although there has to be some censorship by parents.. I used to act out scenes from the TV and they were in black and white...and it didn't do me any harm...The trouble is that there are media for children to watch these days, so who knows what may happen in the future...I think that computer games where there is an actual interaction with images on the TV has the potential to harm children, but that has not been fully investigated yet.
Children watch so much tv these days, it would be naive to think they are not being influenced by what they see and hear, after all it is the time they are learning most about the world they live in. As to whether or not it leads to negative behaviour, I think that it depends on the content of the programmes they are watching.
If children are regularly exposed to the more disturbing things that we have on our screens today, it will have a negative impact on them.As adults we can differentiate between fact and fiction..
There have been studies that have indeed found a CORRELATION between violent behavior and violence on TV/video games...but this does NOT mean that tv CAUSES violence. Much depends on third variables that cannot be controlled. Such things as parenting, child temperament, peer influences, and many others. I believe people try to point fingers of blame on one particular thing when anything a person goes against social norms, but violent behavior should be addressed in a therapeutic way, trying to help the child adjust their behavior, rather than going in circles blaming different potential factors.
