Impact of breath away programme cross river television programme as related to children’s social behavioural problems

Project Abstract

The Breath Away Programme, a television programme broadcasted on Cross River Television, aims to address children's social behavioral problems through a series of engaging and educational episodes. This research project focuses on evaluating the impact of the Breath Away Programme on children's social behavioral problems. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and behavioral observations to gather data. The research aims to investigate how exposure to the Breath Away Programme influences children's social behavior, including aspects such as empathy, communication skills, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation. By analyzing both quantitative data from surveys and qualitative data from interviews, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the programme's effectiveness in addressing social behavioral problems among children. Preliminary findings suggest that children who regularly watch the Breath Away Programme demonstrate improvements in their social behavior. They exhibit increased empathy towards others, better communication skills in resolving conflicts, and enhanced emotional regulation. The engaging and educational content of the programme appears to have a positive influence on children's attitudes and behaviors. Through in-depth interviews with children, parents, and educators, the research explores the specific ways in which the Breath Away Programme impacts social behavioral problems. Insights from these interviews shed light on the mechanisms through which the programme fosters positive social behavior among children. Additionally, behavioral observations provide valuable real-time data on how children interact and behave after watching the programme. Overall, the research project aims to contribute to the existing literature on using television programmes as a tool for addressing children's social behavioral problems. By evaluating the impact of the Breath Away Programme on children's social behavior, the study offers insights into the potential benefits of incorporating educational television content into children's programming. The findings have implications for educators, policymakers, and content creators seeking to promote positive social behavior among children through media platforms. Further analysis and dissemination of the research findings can help enhance the effectiveness of initiatives aimed at improving children's social skills and overall well-being.
