AWARENESS AND UTILISATION OF TELEVISION
Television is an organized means of reaching large
numbers of diverse kinds of people quickly and efficiently. The
simplest effect of television is to make people aware of events,
persons and possibilities beyond their direct experience. The effect
refers to cognition in its broadcast sense, encompassing mere
awareness as well as extensive knowledge. Television plays an
important role in bringing up the adolescent high school students as
good citizens even though it was some bad effect also. Part of the
remaining modern society and one of its essential characteristic is
the ubiquitous presence of mass media. In modern society different
types of mass media are used in order to influence the public opinion.
Mass communication will change people if they are already disposed
to change; media provide means for the change. The pre-industrial
days the communication process was done by the individuals
themselves. There were no other communication devices. A man who
is the mobile person, carry message from one place to another. In
modern industrial society, the mass media, as communication
devices take the place of these mobile persons. In the 20
th
century,
because of the technological advancement, television underwent

tremendous development in the communication process. The
enormous expansion made in the field of mass media reveals the fact
that even people in the tribal areas and the village today are aware of
the different types of mass media. The village get community
television sets also. Every house in the village today, owns at least a
transistor set. Majority of the village population consisting of
illiterate people compared to urban population, so most of them
prefer the television and radio. According to American and British
studies, televisions have been found to be much more powerful than
the radio. People annot resist viewing the program. It is more
realistic than all the other media. It enables the viewer to see events
as they happen and thus has a tremendous impact. It is reported that
most of the children watched the adult programs. They liked crime
thrillers, comedies, variety programs and family serial meant for the
adult. But they did not like the political programs and discussions.
The television dramas emphasized character qualities like self-
confidence and toughness as being the basis for achieving success in
life. The students studying in the high school, in village areas, may
have greater awareness about the television compared to the student
in urban areas. Majority of the students prefer television among the

different types of mass media. When they were asked the reason for
the preference of television they were of the opinion that television is
an audiovisual media and even though they forget about the content
in an event they can recollect the conduct by remembering the scenes
they have seen in that program. The utilization of television differs
from one student to another. Depending upon the interest, needs
motives, etc. these selection of the television programs or content
varies. Some students use television as a time filling device while
others use it for entertainment or for relaxation. Still others use it for
educational purposes. Age and intelligence of children affect their
uses of television. In their early years, approximately to the age of 10,
brighter children are heavy users of entertainment, but at about 10 to
13 years of age, they reduce their attention to a moderate level. In
addition, as they move from the children years towards the early
teens, their content preferences turn increasingly toward serious or
reality oriented material, whereas light or fantasy content continues
to dominate the preference of the less intelligent children. In India,
now the television can be found in every corners of any state.
Television provides information regarding politics, religion, sports,
crime, nation, state as well as the whole world. High school age being

the age of curiosity. Thus the students are eager to know about
various things happening around them. Television is of great value as
a source of information to them. Television exerts a constant
influence on the opinions, values, attitudes and action of high school
students. Television as a deliberate source of information except for
hearing the days news the weather forecast. The main value of
television is that it provides entertainment. It has brought the theatre
to the living room, practically free of cost. Both the groups, whether
less educated or better educated utilize the television for the same
purpose, to get entertainment. And also the television is more
effective is awakening political interest among teenagers from
disadvantaged backgrounds. Television viewing among students is
that they can acquire general knowledge, they become aware of the
problems existing in the society, the advancements or developments
taking place in the society, the thrust of disaster and danger facing
society, Etc. With the above diversion an attempt is made to analyze
the relationship between television viewing and sex.

THE IMPACT OF TELEVISION ON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

INSTITUTE FOR STUDIES IN TECHNOLOGY Page 1

METHODOLOGY
The study was carried out in Trivandrum. For field work
we choose two schools, one girls high school (nedumangad)
and the other one mixed high school (anad) since sex is one of
our important variable in our study.
By using random sampling we took 95 samples
consisting of 39 boys and 56 girls. 40 students from girls high
school nedumangad and 55 students from anad high school
nedumangad were selected. 33 students were thus selected
from VIII standard 19 students from the IX standard and 43
students from X standard. Thus we selected 95 students for the
study.
Tool of data collection
Interview schedule was the tool used for the collection of
data.
Analysis of data
Data collected was analyzed and tabulated on the basis of
variables.

INSTITUTE FOR STUDIES IN TECHNOLOGY Page 1

Definition of concept
Since the topic under is The impact of television on
high school students, the concept we have to consider are Impact,
Television and High school students.
1. Impact: Impact is the resultant influence of television on high
school students.
2. Television: television is the communicating media which is
designed to speed and extend the exchange of information. This
is the instrument of large scale communication. The other type
of mass media are newspaper, magazines, radio, etc.
3. High-school students: The pupils of age ranging from 13-15
years belong to the category of high school students. Their age
is the age of adolescence. The students studying in the 8
th

standards are included under the category of high school
students.
The impact of television on the adolescents thus
motivated the investigator to conduct a study on its impact on
high school students who belong to the age of adolescents. The
high school shapes out pupils of the age group 13-15 years.
This age being the age of adolescence, the molding of behavior,

character, personality, etc. are to start on a firm foundation
which should ultimately, result in the bringing up of good
citizens. The pupils studying in the high school belong to the
stage of adolescence. Their average age range from 13-15
years.

Variables
Sex, age, standard and residence of the student were the
main variables used in the study.
