Children's Representations of Television and Real-Life Stories.

Watkins, Bruce

Communication Research, v15 n2 p159-84 Apr 1988

Investigates relationships between television viewing and both the content and form of children's event representations. Examines two narratives, a "television" story and a "real-life" story, written by children in grades three, five, and eight, for the presence of particular kinds of content and for presentational style and complexity.
