Do video games breed violence on Globetechnology (thanks Mike Martinez)
examines the topic of games and violence, citing four studies published in the
Journal of Adolescence, though it looks like most of the research is based on
surveys, rather than experimentation, with the article paying passing reference
in its conclusion to other "risk factors," that don't inspire the same
sensational response, such as "poverty, drugs (and), gang membership..."
right from the gentile study:
"That youth who are more hostile also play more violent video games raises questions of causality. Are young adolescents more hostile and aggressive because they expose themselves to media violence, or do previously hostile adolescents prefer violent media? Due to the correlational nature of this study, we cannot answer this question directly"
looks like the PR got ahead of their actual scientific results
