Results
For both male and female participants, childhood TV-violence viewing correlated significantly with young adult aggression 15 years later
Furthermore, childhood perceptions that TV-violence reflects real life and childhood identification with same-sex aggressive TV characters significantly correlated with adult aggression 15 years later.
Parent factors play a role in influencing both aggression and TV habits. However, the results suggest that the parent factors probably do not account by themselves for the longitudinal relations between TV-violence viewing and later aggression.
Method

Aim
Investigating the relationship between children's exposure to TV violence and later aggressive and violent behaviour in young adulthood
