Anil Kumar Verma, Dr. Ram Kalap Tiwari

Abstract :

The relationship between Television viewing and scholastic performance (achievement in Hindi and English language) was examined in a group of 100 students (50 boys, 50 girls) studying in 6th to 8th grade from Utter Pradesh, India. Both among boys and girls TV viewing had significant negative correlations with scholastic performance. Those who spent more time in Television viewing showed poorer performance on Hindi and English language compared to less time spender. Significant grade differences were not observed between scholastic performance and TV viewing of the students. The overall trend of the present investigation is a clear indication that excessive TV viewing is harmful to the scholastic performance of the students.
