Resumen

El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar la evidencia actual sobre los efectos prosociales y antisociales de la televisión en la infancia. Se realiza una revisión exhaustiva acerca de las últimas revisiones de meta-análisis. Los resultados son concluyentes: el impacto de los contenidos televisivos de carácter violento puede llegar a explicar casi un 10% de la conducta agresiva y los contenidos prosociales un 5% de las conductas del mismo signo. Por tanto, son necesarios mecanismos de autorregulación de los contenidos audiovisuales y también se precisan estudios de análisis de contenido independientes para la evaluación de los contenidos televisivos.
