Abstract

Previous studies suggest that children imitate behavior such as violence and tobacco use shown in media. Of popular G- and PG-rated movies released during 1995-1997, 40% depicted firearms. We examined movies released during 1998-2002 to determine whether the depiction of firearms in children's movies has changed.
