Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston University / There have been many contrasting statements as to the helpful or destructive force television has on many families, but, because television is in its infant stages, sufficient research is lacking to produce conclusive evidence. This investigation is an attempt to discover the various forms of recreational activities in which the family participated before television and to find out whether or not the family participation in activities is less, just as much, or more after television.

Bibliography: pages 131-140. / Kinetic Family Drawings (KFDs) are Projective drawings which require the drawer to give 'action' to the depicted figures. A number of studies have been conducted following its inception in 1970. (Burns & Kaufman, 1970; 1972). Upon examination of these studies, however, it is evident that those studies pertaining to aspects of family functioning obtained significant results to a greater degree. It was the contention of the present study, that the KFD may be measuring aspects of family functioning. The present study thus incorporated a measure of family functioning, the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) (Epstein, Baldwin & Bishop, 1983), to assess whether KFD depictions were indices of family functioning. The results were obtained through KFDs of 96 individuals who constituted 24 families. These individuals consisted of (n=48) parents and (n=48) adolescents. Due to constraints of research design, there were unequal numbers of males and females i.e. 38 males and 58 females.
