Keywords:
Television Viewing, Parental Education, questionnaireAbstract
In western developed nations like India, practically everyone has access to television. Despite television's broad appeal, there are valid concerns regarding how it affects young people. It may be used for both good and bad. According to some experts, watching television leads to a reduction in mental effort and a superficial processing of information since it provides a full sensory experience. Children need to be protected for the sake of their future since they are vulnerable and defenseless against this influence. Thus, this study sheds information on how adolescents in grades 8 through 12 who watch television perceive their values. Value-related data was gathered using a standardized questionnaire created by Dr. R.K. Ojha. There were 250 students in the study's sample, 125 of whom were male and 125 of whom were female.
