Abstract

Television and value acquisitionSalto de línea Salto de línea This paper presents as one of its objectives the development and validation of the scale of values underlying television contents (Val-TV 0.1) based on the model established by Schwartz.Within a wider research scope, there is an interest in making progress on the analysis of implicit and explicit values beneath TV contents.This study is based on the hypothesis that television contents themselves constitute a source for learning values. In specific terms, the idea that it is possible to teach and learn values through television is advocated. Some of the research dealing with the relationship between television and values is categorized from a three-fold standpoint: the contents themselves, the medium itself and the language.As a result of this review, it can be stated that the reiterated attacks on television, making it responsible for a great part of the problems suffered by young people today, are not supported by the studies carried out by psychologists over recent decades. It is understood that viewers interpret the information provided by television from different contexts and that enculturation is not unidirectional.
