Answer to Question 1

 A number of critics claim that the evidence simply does not support the claim that TV viewing is related to antisocial behavior.
 Some critics assert that experimental results are inconclusive and short-lived. Kids may have an immediate reaction to viewing violence on TV, but aggression is quickly extinguished once the viewing ends.
 Experiments showing that kids act aggressively after watching violent TV shows fail to link aggression to actual criminal behaviors, such as rape or assault. Aggregate data are also inconclusive.
 Little evidence exists that areas with the highest levels of violent TV viewing also have rates of violent crime that are above the norm. Millions of children watch violence every night yet fail to become violent criminals.
 Even if a violent behaviorTV link could be established, it would be difficult to show that antisocial people develop aggressive traits merely from watching TV.
 Aggressive youths may simply enjoy watching TV shows that conform to and support their behavioral orientation. Further research is needed to clarify this important issue.
 Student view will vary.
