TV or No TV?: A Primer on the Psychology of Television

This book grew out of a study of four families who have intentionally lived for several years without television to avoid the influence of television on their children. The authors describe six common themes that characterize the beliefs of these no-TV families and examine scientific evidence that addresses these beliefs, related to the influence of television on aggression, television and reading, and the influence of television advertising. The book is suitable as a supplement in undergraduate psychology and communications courses. Steuer teaches psychology at the College of Charleston; Hustedt is a researcher in early education at Rutgers University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
