This article basically studies the effects movies have on teenagers in the United States. It is outlined for the readers to have a quick overview of what it will be about. The first part is called the OBJECTIVE- it's stated that "Despite concerns about exposure to violent media, there are a few data on youth exposure to violent movies." I think it's great that some people are interested to conduct these kind of data. It means that they are concerned about the problem and are probably willing to solve some of the problems in the future.
The next part lists the methods that were being used during the research to prove the point. At first, a random-digit-dial survey was used. It was conducted on 6522 US adolescents aged 10-14 years.
The results turned out to be the following: 40 violent movies were seen by a median of 12.5% of an estimated 22 million US adolescents aged 10-14.
- Most popular violent movie: Scary Movie
- Violent movie exposure-associated with measure of parenting
- Violent movies-associated with male, older, less educated parents
