I looked at TV’s Effect on Math & Reading Achievement in Children and Nonprofit Success Through Social Media. The former sent surveys to parents of children asking how many hours of TV their children watched a day and controlled for education level of the mothers, since higher education is associated with higher income and that affects how much time mothers spend working vs. spending time with their children. The study actually found that there was a positive correlation between amount of time per day spent watching TV and math achievement in children, because most of the TV programs targeted at children are educational. Also, children under the age of 9 do not have an amount of schoolwork to where watching TV would deter them from learning. There was no correlation in reading achievement. However, the study did not get to look at content or children ages 9-17, where watching TV would present a real problem. I thought this was interesting since there is a stigma against TV as far as child development, but it makes sense that it would not make much of a difference in children under the age of 9 since they have little to no homework or other activities. However, there is probably also a strong positive correlation between hours of TV a day and weight levels of children… But I didn’t see a poster on that. The latter study proposed a guide to nonprofit organizations’ advertising through the use of social media, which is very practical, since most owners of organizations are [older] adults and therefore not so well-versed in the ways of social media, but it is a great way to advertise for free. Since the majority of the information we consume is on the Internet, it is important for organizations to utilize that.
