 Imagine the scene: you and your family are relaxing after a hard day’s work. You have just watched the news on TV. What are you going to watch next? Or perhaps more important, who decides what you are going to watch next? Whose finger is on the button? 

Deciding what to watch on TV is a battle fought in homes all over the world. According to psychologists, it is much more serious than simply deciding between the soap opera and a sports programme, or between pop music and politics. This television conflict is part of a bigger power game which goes on in homes, even though most of the players don’t realize that they are playing a game at all. Unconsciously, people begin to play the game as soon as they meet their future husband or wife. By the time the couple gets married, the rules of the game are already well established. The big decisions, like where to live and which school to send the children to, are usually joint decisions. When it comes to less important things, like where to go on holiday, or what sort of car to buy, it’s a different matter. 

Recently some psychologists asked 400 families to put a “C-box” in their livingrooms. This is a video machine which watches you as you watch TV. They found that 80% of the time it was the man in the house who had his finger on the button, then the eldest child, then the youngest child, and only then the woman of the house.
