Abstract (Original Language): 
Çağımızın en popüler teknolojik ürünlerinden biri olan televizyon, neredeyse her yaştan ve her kesimden insanı etkilemektedir. O, pratik yaşama dair bilgiler sunmanın yanında, farklı coğrafyaları, kültürleri, yaşamları vb.lerini tanıma olanağı sağlayarak insanların 'dünyaya açılan penceresi' olma özelliğine sahiptir. Tabi birçok teknolojik ürün gibi televizyon da bilinçli ve kontrollü kullanılmadığı takdirde bazı olumsuzluklara neden olabilmektedir. Bu olumsuzluklardan en önemlisi ise çocuk ve gençleri şiddet içeren davranışlara yönlendirmesidir. Bu araştırmada çocuk ve gençleri şiddet içeren davranışlara yönlendiren televizyonun, bu yöndeki zararlarının önlenebilmesi ya da azaltılabilmesi konusunda neler yapılabileceği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.

Television has become an irreplaceable part of our lives. This product which has taught by entertaining and relaxing has required to be in a conscious attitude to be used in a beneficial way during the social processes and indevelopment of children and the young. And this necessitates the state's making relevant acts and revising the current ones, television companies' determining their broadcasting policies according to the social values and families' behaving in a way they know their responsibilities.
Although having more than one channel in our country has been considered as having the opportunity of choosing, it has been understood that nearly whole channels have had similar broadcast content when the broadcast stream has been followed. This has increased the importance for families to be in a precise attitude about their children's watching television.
Television channels have tended to include programs such as interesting (even the ones including sexuality, violence, etc.) movies, series, etc. to their broadcast steam in order to grasp the attention of audiences as they have become a commercial company. On the other hand, relevant institutions of state and especially television channels should display sensitivity about broadcasting the programs that will lead children and the young to behaviors including violence and will give harm to their psychological and mental development at late hours.
No matter what legal regulations have been performed, it has been possible to meet a violent-content image on television even in the most innocent scene. So, what kind of manners should families display in order to protect their children from the disadvantages of television?
- Above all, there should be specified only one area to watch television at home (sitting room, hall, etc.), so they should keep children's watching television under control.
- Certain rules should be established upon watching television.
- Parents should determine the hours of their children's watching television and which programs they will watch (especially cartoons) with them and they should provide their children to perform other activities during the time apart from those hours.
- Parents should be aware of that watching television has been a family activity knowing that children have been affected from what they see (movie, series, cartoon, reality show, etc.) on television.
- Being aware that aggressiveness and violence can be a learned behavior, parents should inform their children about impropriety of those behaviors when such images have been encountered while watching television.
