Examined relations between TV-violence viewing at ages 6 to 10 and adult aggression about 15 years later for sample growing up in the 1970s and 1980s. Found that childhood exposure to media violence predicted young adult aggression for males and females. Identification with aggressive TV characters and perceived realism of TV violence predicted later aggression. Relations persisted even when effects of SES, intellectual ability, and parenting factors were controlled. (Author/KB)
