Wertham 1955

Quantity of the violence in the media is stupendous
  • analysed crume comics & tv
  • children shown images & asked to interpret them
  • children also asked to finish stories

Tests are however artifical: Gauntlett 2005

  • Passivity - comics & Tv make children Passive
  • Misconceptions - teaches unhealthy life styles
  • Imitation - copy what they see
  • Identification - see themselves as strong/good charaters even if they are bad
