Abstract

Teachers rated nursery class children’s behaviour 18 months before (i.e. in 1993), and 68 months after the availability of broadcast TV (i.e. in 2000) on the island of St Helena. Across a period of seven years - and almost six years of TV - findings showed few significant differences between teachers’ ratings of the two cohorts. In particular, with the 2000 cohort there was no evidence of increases in the types of anti-social behaviours that TV is often alleged to encourage.
