The bulk of research investigating the effects of television violence on viewers has concluded that it leads to aggressive behaviour. Whilst the weight of evidence does demonstrate an association between television violence and aggressive behaviour, closer scrutiny of some influential and prominent studies in the area indicates that in a number of cases there exist methodological and/or statistical weaknesses that suggest a need for further work in the area, particularly if claims of causation are to be more confidently advanced. This paper examines some of the methodological limitations that appear in the diversity of research designs employed in the literature. Arising from this examination is the proposition of a longitudinal model which, it is hypothesised, overcomes a number of the identified limitations and utilises relatively recent advances in statistical techniques
