The Impact of Leisure-Time Television on School Learning: A Research Synthesis.
Williams, Patricia A.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v19 n1 p19-50 Spr 1982
To integrate empirical findings concerning the impact of leisure time television viewing on student achievement in grades K-12, 274 correlations were assembled from 23 studies. The effects were slightly positive for up to 10 hours of viewing a week, but beyond 10 hours the effects are negative and increasingly more deleterious. (Author/BW)
