The findings from this study also showed that if research was to average out the amount of total recorded incidents to the amount of episodes studied it would be about 6 which were analyzed. So this does give a larger meaning that cartoon programs have high amounts of violent programs in their shows though this is often in the use of fictional violence in which characters are never seriously injured or hurt which can leave the social effects of real life violence needing to be continued to analyzed with aggression and that context that children understand the perceived shows are fictional.
