This book reports findings from a major, multidisciplinary study of
the impact of broadcast television on the remote island community
of St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. Broadcast television was
introduced to the island for the first time in March 1995. This
introduction represented a major event on the island, whose only
televisual experience had been through video. In the years leading
up to the introduction of TV, the researchers who wrote this book
collected data by observing the island's young children in
classroom settings, and during free-play. In addition to these
observations they asked the children's teachers to rate their
students' behavior, and invited the children to explain to them
what leisure time activities they engaged in. With the data they
were able to amass on these key variables they have assembled and
coded the results into baseline measures central to the study. Once
TV had arrived, they collected data annually on the key dependent
measures to determine if the introduction of broadcast TV had any
discernible influence on the behavior of the children.
