My Primary research plans

When on my holidays i will be with many young relatives. With them i'll get them to watch a certain video (probably power rangers), then before and after i will monitor their behaviours.

I expect to see some sort of agressive change e.g. they start trying out moves they just saw from tv. But time will tell.

Research methods

My main type of research will be seconday data, and also there will be a mix between qualative and quantative data. I may do some primary research as in interview people on there views but there will be no where near as much as secondary (but this could change)

My hypothsis

I've decided my hypothesis to be
Violence in media (TV, Video games, Movies, music) will influence children

Q. Does violence in the media influence our children to act violent themselves?

Sub questions wil be :-
In what ways does the violence influence children?
Why is violence in games not monitored better?
