An experiment was designed to investigate how television commentary during soccer matches affects children’s judgments on aggressive fouls. Dutch children (N= 96) from grades 5 and6 watched a series of fouls on video with three types of commentary: disapproving, neutral, or approving.When the commentator disapproved of the players’ aggressive actions, children rejected the fouls more strongly than when the commentator approved of the actions. The commentary effect was found with fouls among two foreign players, fouls by foreign players against Dutch players,and fouls by Dutch players against foreign players.The commentary effect appeared to apply not only to children who did not particularly like soccer matches on television but even to children who fancied the genre.
