Three decades of research suggest a causal link between exposure of children to violent images on television and subsequent violent behavior. The epidemic of violence in American society mandates a critical reappraisal of the televised images that children see. To slow the cycle of violence, pediatricians can: (1) Help shape parental attitudes toward children's viewing habits; (2) lobby for school systems to adopt curricula that include critical viewing skills; and (3) work with Congress, Federal regulators, television producers, and broadcasters to reduce the exposure of children to televised violence.
三十年的研究表明，儿童接触电视上的暴力画面与随后的暴力行为之间存在因果联系。美国社会的暴力泛滥促使人们对儿童所看到的电视画面进行批判性的重新评估。为了减缓暴力循环，儿科医生可以：（1）帮助塑造家长对儿童观看习惯的态度；（2）游说学校系统采用包含批判性观看技巧的课程；以及（3）与国会、联邦监管机构、电视制片人及广播公司合作，减少儿童接触电视暴力的机会。
