The evidence is impressive and clear: The more media violence people, including children, view, the more aggressive they are likely to be. [5] [6] The relationship between viewing television violence and aggressive behavior is about as strong as the relation between smoking and cancer or between studying and academic grades. People who watch more violence become more aggressive than those who watch less violence.As you have just read, playing violent video games also leads to aggressive responses. A recent meta-analysis by Anderson and Bushman [7] reviewed 35 research studies that had tested the effects of playing violent video games on aggression. The studies included both experimental and correlational studies, with both male and female participants in both laboratory and field settings. They found that exposure to violent video games is significantly linked to increases in aggressive thoughts, aggressive feelings, psychological arousal (including blood pressure and heart rate), as well as aggressive behavior. Furthermore, playing more video games was found to relate to less altruistic behavior. |
