Abstract
AbstractThrough the Purdue Opinion Panel, preferences for 12 television program types, and the relationship of these preferences to a criterion of self-reported grades, were investigated in a research sample of 974 boys and 1026 girls, representative of the national population of high school students. Television program types most preferred were comedy, detective stories, westerns, dramas and specials, mysteries, and movies. Programs least preferred were cartoons, variety, and music and dance. Television program types associated with higher grades were news and documentaries, and drama and specials; programs associated with lower grades were movies, westerns, cartoons, mysteries, detective stories, variety, and music and dance. Preferences for comedy and sports events were not associated with the criterion of reported grades.
