Jackson-Beeck, Marilyn, "Political Implications of Heavy Television Viewing," Paper presented to the Association for Education in Journalism, College Park, Maryland, August, 1976.
Abstract:
Heavy TV viewers are more likely to advocate social change through government action than non-viewers. They support school integration, spending to solve national problems, conform to the existing power structure, report few memberships and less voting expect war in the near future, and support an isolationist U.S. foreign policy.
