N2  - The National Television Violence Study is a three-year effort to assess violence on television. Underwritten by the National Cable Television Association, the independent analysis is coordinated by an autonomous nonprofit organization, Mediascope. Oversight is provided by a council whose members reflect national leadership in education, medicine, violence prevention, the creative community, law, psychology, and communication, with one-third of the council representing the entertainment industry. Four universities are involved in three study components. The Universities of California at Santa Barbara and Texas at Austin are doing a content analysis to assess the amount and context of television violence. The University of Wisconsin at Madison is researching how children respond to viewer advisories and ratings, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is examining adolescents' responses to antiviolence messages on television. This report is excerpted from the "National Television Violence Study 1994-95 Executive Summary," the first in a series of three annual reports. Here we present a summary of key findings related to the content analysis and the studyís recommendations. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Young Children, 1996.
