Abstract

Television viewing is a common phenomen influencing everyday life of children. A questionnaire on the use of television was administered to 97 children aged from 5 to 19 years, and their parents. On an average, children spend 2 to 5 hours daily viewing television. Their parents accept this amount of time. Adolescents watch more TV than younger children. The social background was not related to the amount of time spent viewing television. Children with behavior disorders (F90-92) spend the same time watching television like children without behavior problems. 1/3 of the children owned their own television set using it more often. Nearly 50% like programs with violent and aggressive themes.
