In one study, scientists at the University of Michigan recorded the TV-watching habits of hundreds of first and third graders in 1977. Fifteen years later, the researchers looked at what kind of adults these kids had become.
By the time they were in their early twenties, women who had watched violent shows as kids were four times as likely to have punched, choked, or beaten other people as were women who didn’t watch such programs as kids. Boys who watched violent TV grew up to be three times as likely to commit crimes as boys who didn’t watch such programs.
However, that doesn’t mean that everyone who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves. It was just more likely to happen for some people.
