The majority of correlational studies that have examined television violence and aggressive behavior suggest that the more hours children spend watching violent television shows, the more likely they are to exhibit aggressive behaviors. what is the major problem with these findings?

Correlation does not prove causation.

Explanation:

Correlational studies are the type of research that seeks to explore relationships that may exist between variables except cause-effect relationships, so correlational studies are not the most appropriate to prove casualties. The study of relationships between variables in this type of study is descriptive because there is no manipulation of variables, and prediction is the most frequently established type of relationship.

Studies to prove that television programs with aggressive content influence aggressive behavior in children are from correlational studies, as shown in the question above. The problem is that in order to correctly assess the relationship between tv shows and unfaithful behaviors, a cause and effect assessment should be made, since correlation does not prove causation.
