Violent Video Games Tied to Physical Aggression


FRIDAY, Oct. 12, 2018 -- Playing violent video games is associated with subsequent increases in physical aggression, according to research published online Oct. 2 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Anna T. Prescott, Ph.D., from Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., and colleagues conducted a meta-analysis of prospective studies (2010 to 2017) that assessed the relationship between exposure to video game violence (VGV) and subsequent overt physical aggression. Analysis included 24 studies (multiple nationalities and ethnicities) with more than 17,000 participants (mean ages, 9 to 19 years) and time lags ranging from three months to four years.

Gee, it took something like "24 studies" to figure this out...?

I think it is deeper than that.
I think it is from fatherless households... Boys that have no male figure to pattern after, and no 'alpha' male to keep them in line.

Violence per se is not the problem. The problem is no sense of honor.
