Social factors determining 5–6 year-old children’s absorption of aggressive behavioural patterns from television programs

Abstract

The article presents research results concerning social factors determining 5-6-year-olds’ absorption of aggressive behavioural patterns from television programs. The study was conducted among pre-school children in three settings: cities, towns and rural areas. The findings refer to the influence of various social factors, such as family, peer community and place of residence, on children’s aggressive behaviour.
