    Malengo ya kujifunza

    • Kujifunza umuhimu wa utafiti
    Watoto huketi mbele ya benki ya skrini za televisheni. Ishara juu ya ukuta inasema, “Maudhui fulani hayawezi kufaa kwa watoto.”
    Kielelezo\(\PageIndex{1}\): Je, maudhui ya televisheni yanaathiri tabia za watoto? (mikopo: mabadiliko ya kazi na “antisocialtory” /Flickr)

    Je! Umewahi kujiuliza kama vurugu unayoona kwenye televisheni huathiri tabia yako? Je! Una uwezekano mkubwa wa kuishi kwa uadui katika maisha halisi baada ya kuangalia watu wanafanya kwa ukali katika hali mbaya kwenye skrini? Au, inaweza kuona vurugu tamthiliya kweli kupata uchokozi nje ya mfumo wako, na kusababisha wewe kuwa na amani zaidi? Je! Watoto wanaathirije na vyombo vya habari wanavyoonekana? Mwanasaikolojia mwenye nia ya uhusiano kati ya tabia na yatokanayo na picha za vurugu anaweza kuuliza maswali haya.

    Mada ya vurugu katika vyombo vya habari leo ni ya ugomvi. Tangu nyakati za kale, binadamu wamekuwa na wasiwasi kuhusu madhara ya teknolojia mpya juu ya tabia zetu na taratibu za kufikiri. Mwanafalsafa wa Kigiriki Socrates, kwa mfano, alikuwa na wasiwasi kwamba kuandika-teknolojia mpya wakati huo-ingeweza kupunguza uwezo wa watu kukumbuka kwa sababu wangeweza kutegemea rekodi zilizoandikwa badala ya kufanya habari kwa kumbukumbu. Katika ulimwengu wetu wa teknolojia zinazobadilika haraka, maswali kuhusu madhara ya vyombo vya habari yanaendelea kujitokeza. Wengi wetu tunajikuta na maoni yenye nguvu juu ya masuala haya, tu kumtafuta mtu aliye karibu na sisi akipiga kelele kwa mtazamo tofauti.

    Tunawezaje kupata majibu ambayo hayasaidiwa na maoni tu, bali kwa ushahidi kwamba sisi sote tunaweza kukubaliana? Matokeo ya utafiti wa kisaikolojia yanaweza kutusaidia kuelekea masuala kama haya.
