Why should parents be concerned about media coverage of a school shooting?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may include:
Research has found that frequency and duration of media exposure of the violent event is associated with negative outcomes, even when controlling for factors such as prior mental health status and media exposure prior to the violent event (e.g., Holman et al., 2014). Based on the research by Schlenger et al. (2002) reviewed earlier in this chapter, families should consider limiting the amount of time they spend watching television coverage of the violent event since it was found to predict both PTSD symptomatology and general distress.
