The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of television viewing on the self concept and mental health of children (age 11-13yrs) 40 from Govt. and 40 from Private schools respectively. The total sample of 80 was collected from different Govt. and Private schools of Jammu city. Two scales were used for the study, namely, self concept scale by S.P.

Results showed that there was a non significant difference in television viewing between the Govt. and Private school students as far as their self concept was concerned where as a significant difference was found in their mental health.
