The purpose of this research was to study the effect of watching short Thai comedy and violent films on the attention span of adolescents by comparing measures of response accuracy, reaction time, and P100 latency and amplitude between experimental and control groups as found during the Attention Network Test (ANT). Participants were sixty employees, aged 17 to 19 years, randomly assigned to the two groups in equal number. The research instruments were Thai short comedy and violent films, Attention Network Test using a computer and the Neuroscan system. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. Results indicated that the After the tested group watched both comedy and violence Thai short film, during doing the attention network test, they had less width and more height of Electroencephalogram P100 than before they watched both comedy and violence Thai short film at statistic level .05 significantly. After the tested group watched comedy Thai short film, during doing the attention network test, they had less width and more height of Electroencephalogram P100 than after they watched violence Thai short film at statistic level .05 significantly The findings suggest that the attention of young employees was increased more by watching short Thai comedy films than by watching short Thai violent films.
