Head Start A federally funded program in the 1960’s targeted toward at-risk
preschoolers. Designed to prevent generic, negative outcomes in adolescents and adulthood.
Short term: Better vocabulary, math and writing skills, and social skills than non-program disadvantaged kids.
Long-term: More likely to complete high school and college. Less likely to be arrested or charged with a crime (Ludwig & Phillips, 2007).
Cost effectiveness studies: Society can save 7.16 dollars of future costs for every dollar spent on prevention.

Violence in the Media—Conclusions The magnitude of the effect of media on
violent behavior depends on: Audience characteristics (Grimes, et al. 2004).
Media attributes Images that are more realistic, legitimized, and lack
of emphasis on the pain and suffering the victim are seen stronger predictors of violent behavior.

The Contact Hypothesis (Cook, 1985).
Contact reduces negative attitudes under certain conditions.
Contact with diverse groups is
associated with more favorable attitudes towards these groups (e.g., Molina and Wittig, 2006).
