Abstract

Existing research indicates that television can lead to negative health outcomes, but less research has investigated reciprocal effects of health on television viewing. Latent growth curve modeling of longitudinal survey data examined adolescents’ depression and general health as predictors of television viewing. Initial health and depression measures predicted television viewing, both initially and over time, suggesting that previously observed effects of television on health may be mirrored by reciprocal effects of health on television viewing.
