"The author first points out that the initial of impetus of television and its continued widespread adoption is a phenomenon mostly of urban areas and their surrounds — Nevertheless, there has been recently a significant increase in the use of television in rural areas — He undertakes the investigation of attitudes of rural people toward television — Special emphasis was given not only to the effects of socio-economic status but to the ideological systems of agricultural families — He finds that rural communities generally have adaptive attitudes toward television but that some spread of critical as well as selective attitudes could be expected."
