Abstract | Some 450 studies and other items judged to be of key importance to research on television and human behavior are summarized. For empirical research, each summary presents: (1) principal findings; (2) design and methodology; (3) theory and discussion. For theory, review and nonempirical works, each summary presents: principal conclusions and theory and discussion. The summaries are described as critical annotations because they represent a judgment about the data or, in the case of nonempirical work, about the major thrust, and not a reiteration of stated conclusions. The summaries were rated by a jury of social scientists on the basis of "interest at this time," and their opinions are noted by a system of asterisks. In addition, the summaries are preceded by an analysis of methodological issues and trends within each of the substantive areas covered by the eleven specialized bibliographies. It concluded that many of the apparent disputes about the substantive scientific findings instead represent differences in the way various evaluators collate and analyze evidence, and that debate should be focused on the validity and implications of alternative means of evaluation, instead of on the "rightness" or "wrongness" of the findings.
