Greenberg, Bradley S.; And Others
This study investigates pro-social and anti-social behaviors portrayed on prime time and Saturday morning television during the 1975-76 season. An initial review of relevant research in this behavioral area is followed by a description of the basic content categories for pro-social and anti-social behaviors, motives and consequences of these behaviors, the measurement of act intensity, coder training program, coder reliability estimative procedures, and samples of television content. A total of 92 programs comprising 68.5 hours of viewing were analyzed for this study and results are discussed for a variety of frequency and time categories. Appendices include intensity of acts, shows by program type and representative intensity levels for both pro- and anti-social acts. (RAO)
