Risks of early exposure to media violence remain unclear. This study examines typical early childhood violent media exposure and subsequent psychosocial and academic risks.
Our longitudinal birth cohort comprised 978 girls and 998 boys. Child-reported and teacher-reported measures of adjustment at age 12 years were linearly regressed on parent-reported televised violence exposure at ages 3.5 and 4.5 years while adjusting for individual/family confounders.
For girls, preschool violent televiewing was associated with increases in emotional distress (b = 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-0.49) and decreases in classroom engagement (b = -0.97; 95% CI, -1.55 to -0.40), academic achievement (b = -2.60; 95% CI, -3.48 to -1.72), and academic motivation (b = -0.58; 95% CI, -1.09 to -0.07) at age 12 years. For boys, preschool violent televiewing was associated with increases in emotionally distressed (b = 0.33; 95% CI, 0.13-0.53), inattentive (b = 0.25; 95% CI, 0.06-0.45), conduct disordered (b = 0.11; 95% CI, 0.00-0.21), and socially withdrawn behavior (b = 0.23; 95% CI, 0.05-0.40), as well as decreases in classroom engagement (b = -0.84; 95% CI, -1.57 to -0.12), academic achievement (b = -1.19; 95% CI, -2.15 to -0.23), and academic motivation (b = -0.58; 95% CI, -1.13 to -0.03) at age 12 years.
Compared with no preschool exposure, violent televiewing is associated with distinct and enduring psychosocial risks by early adolescence. Acknowledging such risks remains a pertinent health literacy target for pediatric professionals, parents, and communities.
早期接触媒体暴力的风险仍不清楚。本研究考察了典型的幼儿期暴力媒体暴露以及随后的心理社会和学业风险。
我们的纵向出生队列包括 978 名女孩和 998 名男孩。在校儿童和教师报告的 12 岁时适应情况的指标，与调整后的 3.5 岁和 4.5 岁时父母报告的电视暴力暴露情况进行线性回归，同时调整了个体/家庭混杂因素。
对于女孩，学前暴力电视观看与情绪困扰增加（b=0.31；95%置信区间[CI]，0.13-0.49）和课堂参与度降低（b=-0.97；95%CI，-1.55 至-0.40）、学业成绩（b=-2.60；95%CI，-3.48 至-1.72）和学业动机（b=-0.58；95%CI，-1.09 至-0.07）相关。对于男孩，学前暴力电视观看与情绪困扰增加（b=0.33；95%CI，0.13-0.53）、注意力不集中（b=0.25；95%CI，0.06-0.45）、品行障碍（b=0.11；95%CI，0.00-0.21）和社会退缩行为（b=0.23；95%CI，0.05-0.40）有关，以及课堂参与度降低（b=-0.84；95%CI，-1.57 至-0.12）、学业成绩（b=-1.19；95%CI，-2.15 至-0.23）和学业动机（b=-0.58；95%CI，-1.13 至-0.03）。
与无学前暴露相比，暴力电视观看与青少年早期的明显和持久的心理社会风险有关。承认这种风险仍然是儿科专业人员、家长和社区的一个相关的健康素养目标。
