University of California study showed that the repeated impact of plots from the field incidents, terrorist attacks and from zones of military conflicts increases the percentage physical and mental illness among viewers. In fact, television accused of provoking collective psychological injuries. And her name is fear and aggression.
In conditions of almost total love for television, you can say that almost all of humanity (both adults and children) has certain psychological problems. Researchers experimentally proved that videos and TV news in which show terrible and unpleasant events, have a long negative impact on the psychological state of a person. By scientists say negative news causes collective psychological trauma.
At the same time, Cohen Silver is the head of the scientific group that conducted study – notes that censorship in the media will be redundant. “Important to know what is happening in the world. However, you need to understand why leads constant viewing of scenes of violence, tragedy, ” – emphasizes the scientist.
It is known that the results were also used in this study. polls conducted after the terrorist attack in New York in 2001, as well as after the outbreak of war in Iraq in 2003. It was assessed as stress response of the population, and the degree of impact of the media. It turned out that people who watched reports of a terrorist attack or war more four hours a day, more often had signs of an acute stress reaction and post-traumatic stress disorder. Also they subsequently, deviations of physical or psychological nature.
The author of these lines somehow on a weekday (was on vacation) decided conduct an experiment on himself: turned on one of the Russian federal channels and decided to watch it all day – from morning to late evening. And what do you think? In the morning, instead of the good old morning show, there was a detective show. Then – footage and news from emergency situations. Next – production TV shows with judicial proceedings. The television evening was like a television morning: one the crime television series replaced another. Barely, of course, withstood, but I watched everything. True, he slept badly at night, all the series got messed up: I dreamed of shooting, interrogations, chases …
And here is how “Pravde.Ru” the candidate commented on this situation Medical Sciences, famous psychiatrist Igor Anatolyevich Yanushev:
“And do not be surprised at anything. The TV has a reverse side, and it is not as attractive as a beckoning screen. In people, who watch aggressive stories on TV all the time, and among themselves aggression develops. And not virtual, but the most that neither is real.
I happened to be on an internship in the United States at a time when the criminal shot dead seven schoolchildren right at the school. I was officially allowed to study the psyche of this person in as an external, that is, independent, consultant. So: the schoolboy killer was found to be healthy. But to a question about his hobby he answered something like this: I like action movies, fantasy, horror movies. The plot of the shooting of schoolchildren, he “spied” in one of the coolest militants. I think the record killer Andreas Breivik is also studied film militants …
I will say this: you need to instill a television culture from the very childhood. Not even from years, but from months! Well imagine this a picture. Unable to reassure nine-month-old daughter, mommy turns her to the blue screen. It doesn’t matter what’s going, though intellectual series about Stirlitz. And lo! Baby starts to smile. “Wow,” grandmother admires, “so small, and already understands everything! “. Yes, she does not understand anything in our understanding of this word. She is attracted by the alternation of pictures and harmonized sound. In general, it’s premature to be touched on this subject.
Our scientists do not recommend letting children on TV at all. before the age of two. And German doctors are even stricter – propagandize “television retention” for up to three years. I think everything They know about the negative impact of television on the psyche of a child. Traffic – this is generally life. And for a child this is a natural state organism. So while watching cartoons or programs the muscular system is in a static (frozen) state. AND remains in it as long as the child sits in front of the screen. From this muscle clamps and blocks may appear, and if the baby systematically watching TV in the wrong position, then the child risks posture and normal development of the skeletal system. And don’t blame then in scoliosis the school teacher who planted your child does not for that desk.
Second Side Effect of Lingering Views – Possible Condition excitement and irritability. So, the nervous system makes up for forced inaction by increased activity. Or vice versa, after prolonged television sessions in a child, reactions are inhibited – this associated with a change in consciousness, trance.
What to do? If the program is really interesting, then frequent breaks on advertising (it takes a quarter of broadcasts) use as a motor pause. Play with your child or give him some assignment around the house. It will relieve muscle voltage.
By the way, the more time is devoted to the “box”, the less it remains to communicate with parents, friends, animals. In children who spend more than three hours a day near the TV, doctors note the delay in speech development. Reason is consider they that the children’s psyche when watching shows is more focused on visualization than verbalization. Recent studies have proven: it’s easier for children to retell what they hear than what they see. If the baby every day for one hour the risk of developing memory impairment increases by 10 percent, say American pediatricians.
According to statistics, many children from the age of two years spend with TV more than 10 hours a week. 20 percent of those surveyed nine month old babies whose parents used TV as nanny, doctors discover a lag in physical development.
But what is the harm to vision – this applies to both children and adults. When we look at a real subject, the eye muscles constantly they train, as if “feeling” a thing. With a TV, the opposite is true. The paradox of perception of the picture: the image on the screen moves, and eye muscles – no. When watching television, scientists state noticeable decrease in eye activity.
What to do? Teach your children to relate what they see on the TV screen to reality. If the baby sees the ball on the screen, give it a real one, let me examine and touch, so that it develops spatial and color perception. Take your child to the circus or zoo after watching a program about animals to children’s mind cordoned off what the tiger really is and what colors it painted nature!”.
