SANDOVAL ESCOBAR, MARITHZA. LOS EFECTOS DE LA TELEVISIÓN SOBRE EL COMPORTAMIENTO DE LAS AUDIENCIAS JÓVENES DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DE LA CONVERGENCIA Y DE LAS PRÁCTICAS CULTURALES. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2006, vol.5, n.2, pp.205-222. ISSN 1657-9267.

The existing relation between the consumption of television and the behavior of the children and adolescents has been a topic of interest for different sciences implied in the analysis and intervention on the collective social behavior. Although a definitive answer does not exist, the evidence demonstrates that television has important effects on the aggressive behavior, but questions subsist about the conditions under which these effects appear. Since one is a global social phenomenon, the relation between televising media and the behavior of the viewers extends the analysis and intervention of the individual behavior, so that it becomes necessary to use a more integrating and interdisciplinary frame to explain and to predict the effects. Of such form, this article reviews the positive evidence of the hypothesis of injurious effects of the television, shows a more integrating frame to include and understand the effect of televising media from the perspective of the cultural practices and explains the social effects of the television from the analysis of the convergence.
