Abstract
This study aims at exploring the perception of parents
regarding the effect of media violence on siblings’ behavior.
This study was conducted in the province of Punjab collecting
data from Multan, Faisalabad and Lahore. Theory of cultivation
was employed on the study. The study concluded that the
children mostly watch television and play games on computers
when they are free. Parents also witnessed behavioral changes
like siblings fighting with each other after viewing violent
media contents. The results also reveal that there is a significant
relationship between the time spentper day on media and
aggressive behavior. The study recommends that parents
should be vigilant as what sort of media contents their siblings
are watching and how much time they are spending on such
media exposure
