The Relationship between Television Viewing Preferences and Interest in Science among 11-15 Year-Olds.
Gibson, Harry M.; Francis, Leslie
Research in Science and Technological Education, v11 n2 p185-90 Sum 1993
Explores the relationship between television viewing preferences and interest in science among 11- to 15-year olds (n=5432). After controlling for age, sex, and social class differences, the data demonstrate a negative relationship between attitude toward science and watching soap operas, a positive relationship with current awareness programs and no relationship with either sport or light entertainment programs.
