Reproaching television for violence in society: passing the buck? Interim results from a naturalistic study in St Helena, South Atlantic.
This article refers to a naturalistic study of broadcast television's effects upon the social behaviour of young pupils in St Helena, South Atlantic. Interim findings showed that 2 years after the availability of television, the good behaviour noted before television arrived had been maintained. Explanations for the continuance of good behaviour focuses upon the attributes of watchfulness and care which Islanders exercise over others.
