In a study of the relationship between aggression and television viewing in nursery school children, many interesting interactions among family styles, aggression, and television viewing were found  High aggression occurred in both high-viewing and low-viewing children and this seemed to be related to parental lifestyle
High-achieving, competitive, middle-class parents, whose children did not watch much television, had more aggressive children than parents who planned their lives in an organized, child-centered way, which included larger amounts of television viewing
Parental lifestyle is less important than the amount of television viewing in determining the aggressiveness of children.
