Abstract
p ublic interest and concern have long focused on the issue of violence on television. Attention to that issue began in the 1950s and has remained ever since. Although the field of television and human behavior has gone far beyond the study of violence, many researchers are still committed to finding an answer to the question about the effects of televised violence on the viewer. One reason for this continued commitment is that, despite all the research that has been done both for the report of the surgeon general's advisory committee and since then, the conclusions are not completely unequivocal. While much of the research shows a causal relationship, proponents of the "no effects" position, while in diminished number, continue to argue their case.
