TV or No TV? grew out of a study of four families who have lived for several years without television and have done so not because of practical necessity but because their adult members actively wish to avoid the influences of television while raising children. These families, according to the authors, have formed unique perceptions of television through observing the medium only as "outsiders". This hybrid study, which presents new research findings and a comprehensive yet succinct review of scientific investigations into the lasting effects of television, is written primarily as a supplementary text for use in undergraduate psychology, sociology, or communications courses.
Faye Brown Steuer is Professor of Psychology, College of Charleston, South Carolina.
