This source is an Internet editorial article published online on April 27, 2007 by Jonathan

Freedman, a Psychology professor and former department chairperson at the University

of Toronto. Professor Freedman has taught previously at Stanford University and Columbia University and has chaired the department at the University of Toronto.

Professor Freedman's central thesis is his fundamental opposition to the position taken in

2007 by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that violence in media is a causal factor in actual aggression and violence in society. According to Professor

Freedman, the FCC relied on inaccurate information on the number of relevant studies, and also failed to distinguish between empirically valid information and anecdotal information in reaching their position on the issue. Professor Freedman also suggests the need to differentiate between depictions of fictionalized and real violence in any such analysis and to factor in other causes for changes in patterns of behavior in society before concluding that a direct causal connection exists between violence in the media and actual aggression and violence in society.

Psychology professors at Kenyon College.

The authors reviewed a comprehensive list of prior research on the topic of the suggested link between media influences and negative body image and eating disorder among females. The authors conclude that there may not necessarily be a direct causal relationship but that for certain individuals predisposed to body image problems and eating disorders, media influences may contribute to and exacerbate any such exiting tendencies.
