QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported
FACTS:
1. Aggression seemed more strongly linked to parenting style than to amount of TV watched.
ANALYSIS: This question challenges some people’s assumptions. Some people reading this think that TV causes aggression. But this stimulus doesn’t show a strong link between TV and aggression.
In fact, we have no evidence that TV can cause aggression. It might even reduce it.
Parenting style seems to be a stronger factor (though it’s only a correlation).
___________
- This is only true for children of aggressive parents.
- CORRECT. This is true. You also have to consider how aggressive the parents are.
- We don’t know: we’re not told what would happen if competitive parents focussed more on their children. Maybe it’s the parents’ competitive nature that makes their children aggressive.
- In this study, high levels of TV were associated with low aggression. We have no idea if TV does or does not cause aggression.
- We can conclude the opposite. Parental lifestyle seemed more important than the amount of TV watched.
