Television Violence Questionnaire

This questionnaire is designed to get your input on television violence and it’s effects on kids.  We realized that most studies we read did not include children's' opinions.

Questions 1-5 will give us information about you because we are interested to see if the opinions of kids are different because they're either male or female, young or old, or from a particular place.  The personal information will be private and not shared or sold to anyone else, it is strictly for research purposes.
