Table of Contents:
- Setting the stage: why this book is needed
- A short history of the concept of effects: the people who raised concerns about the media's putative effect on society
- The epistemology of media effects: the way different scholars view the world in which they live often predicts the initial approach they take to doing research
- The social scientific "theory" that never quite fit: why the media violence/social aggression theory isn't compatible with the rest of behavioral science theory (or with common sense)
- Is it just science? Or is it ideology as well?
- The world according to causationists: what the world would be like if the causationists were right
- The biggest cultural variable of all: the Child Careful! and watch out for the children
- The role of psychopathology in the media violence/aggression equation: a return to psychological and cultural conditionals as boundaries for assessing media effects
- The attempt to make an ideology a science: when well-meaning people try to "science-ize" an ideology, confusion and foggy thinking reign
- To legislate or not to legislate against media violence: what policy makers need to know
