With this process happening some skills are more overt such as learning to drive, or learning an instrument. Others take place more singular and internality inside our heads. One of these skills is self-evaluation. If we take a psychosocial approach to our development the formation of the self-evaluation skill takes place in our middle childhood which is ages 6 to 12 years old. This skill along with cognitive development combine to form how we evaluate ourselves and view ourselves.

Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) provide results to a study about this. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) inform us that the study took place in 1977 and included 557 children from 5 countries ages 6 to 10 years old. The ages being 6 to 10 years is important because this is during middle childhood which is the time that we discover our self-evaluation skills. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) say that the follow up study which took 329 people from the original study which at the time of the new study they were ages 20 to 25 years old and obtained the criminal records and moving violation records of these people. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) go on to say that the results from the test say that early childhood exposure to violent television predicted aggressive behavior for both males and females. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) include that while the findings say that aggressive children may choose to watch more violent television programming it is more plausible to say that early childhood exposure to violent television stimulates increases in aggression later in

(2011) provided support for Josephson’s (1987) study in terms of harmful effect of violent media. Taking part in the experiment, eighty and above students observed two different hostile fragments of “Casino” and “Reservoir Dogs” movies. After watching given films, students had to evaluate the level of aggression they felt throughout those hostile scenes. It was found that from 0 to 6 range, the average aggression was approximately located at 5 points (Krahe ́ et al., 2011). As a result of two noteworthy studies, watching a movie consisting of action-aggressive scenes, instantly resulted in a tremendous burst of aggressiveness, and thus, it provides support for assumption that people learn to be aggressive from external media

There are many studies on media violence and its social effects. Most of the studies have indicated that children who are exposed to media violence are more likely to exhibit violent and aggressive behaviors. As the child observes the violence, he/she is motivated by the fact that the show is enjoyable without realizing the violent behaviors. As a result, they copy and identify the behavior, and this has detrimental effects on their social life. According to Boxer et al., the content of the media has a direct impact on its audiences (420).

As television watching increased severely over the past half-century, it also became more violent. In 1969 the National Commission on the causes and prevention of violence indicated that ‘The preponderance of the available research evidence strongly suggests…that violence in television programs can and does have adverse effects upon audiences’ (cited in Berkowitz, 1993, p.199.) Since that time, television violence has increased largely. Research reports in 1970, published that children has seen over 11,000 murders on television by the age of 14.
