Abstract :
According to available statistics, television violence is increasing every day. Since the media has gained a lot of influence in Iran in the last decade, its impact on children in particular can be examined. Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between watching violent animations of Nahal Network with children's aggression mediated by family role. Accordingly, based on the survey method and using a researcher-made questionnaire, we sought to achieve the objectives of the research. The statistical population of the study is 4230 children aged 6 to 9 years in Ghiamdasht city in Tehran province. 354 students were selected using Cochran's formula. Based on the cluster sampling method, first 6 schools were selected and then a questionnaire was distributed to the number of selected samples among their parents. The results were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL software and based on this, factor analysis and structural equation analysis were used to measure items and hypotheses. The results were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL software and based on this, factor analysis and structural equation analysis were used to measure items and hypotheses. The results show that with increasing the rate of watching animation, the tendency of verbal aggression and internal hostility increases among children aged 6 to 9 in Ghiamdasht. But watching animation has no effect on children's physical aggression. The findings also show that with increasing interest in watching animation, the tendency to physical aggression, verbal aggression and internal hostility increases among children aged 6 to 9 in the city of Ghiamdasht.
