There is evidence that kids are watching lots of violent scenes when watching TV, watching movies, playing video games, but still doubts remain. What is the influence of media violence against children? Research over the past decade has consistently demonstrated a causal relationship between media violence and real aggression (Strasburger 129). Violence against the media may lead to positive behavior of children and young people watching various programs. Of course, not all children watching TV, movies, video games are attacked. However, there is a strong correlation between media violence and aggressive behavior. In a study published in the journal of the American Children's Youth Psychiatry Association, relationships between children 's television viewing practices and aggressive behaviors are being investigated. Witnessing violence is an important determinant of violence.

According to a report, one experiment examined the independent influence of TV program content (violence) and TV form characteristics (action level) on children's concern about the program and social behaviors after viewing. Pair of kindergarten children received two lab sessions and confirmed that the content (high or low) and the formal function (high or low action level) of animation and live TV program are different. Then, they play with toys, including clues to attack or pro - social interaction. Fast character movement encourages visual attention to the show; violent TV content does not attract attention. Regarding social behavior measurement, the strong influence of toys' signal is not related to the effect of television treatment. Aggressive toys produce aggressive behavior and social toys produce social behavior; in addition to the direct demands of game materials these patterns have some nonspecific, widespread effects includes.
