I honestly think no because i play God of War series when the first one came out and i never think about slitting someones throat or mutelating most of everything people usually act out games when they get to the rebelious age and btw i am 17 first one came out when i was 14 so no the part about child agression is when the parents come twards the child with agression or emotional harm AKA Abuse and melestation
The worst video games for children are violent video games because they teach the child playing the game to be violent and in some cases to make the child think that it is ok to be violent.
No violent games/films don't cause that behaviour. Its that parents blame video games/films for teens being out of control, doing drugs, gang-banging, etc. But as I said before violent games/films do not cause this behaviour. I should know because I've watched "violent" films and played "violent" games since I was little. I am a normal adult and am non-violent.
Yes
i think it depends on how violent the game is and what rating the game is and how old or young the child is.
It has been known that violent video games can reflect on people's lives, mostly children. When children see something that they think is cool, they're going to act it out. Acting out something from a violent video game can get a child in throuble at school and at home. However, older people, such as adults, are above these violen video games. This doesn't mean thatadults won't play video games. It simply means that they won't act it out. If the do, then they are a really pathetic adult.
Studies have shown that violent video games can cause aggression in children. However, it's not the content of the video games that causes the aggression so much as the frustration over the difficulty of the games.
They can make your child lash out and think that killing is alright.
it will because people are now getting stuck to their TVs now just cause of video games and people will get violent for playing too much violent games
No physical harm, but the kid may be addicted to gaming or violent games.
No. However, violent video games where a child, or an adult for that matter, spends a good deal of time shooting or destroying others, seeing violent deaths and injuries, may become desensitized to violence which can create apathy - lack of caring - about real life people and their pain. They might spend so much time seeing violence on the screen that if they see violence in real life, they might not care or think much of it and that can be dangerous. Or they might think the gun they pick up for real is just like the one they play on the game and not really understand or relate fully to the fact that they could or do hurt someone with it for real. This isn't to say every child who plays violent games is vulnerable to this, but it really depends on the child's personality and how much time they spend on such games. And not all video games are violent.
They simply don't cause violent behavior. No evidence proves a link between violent video games and violent behavior. Video games are mainly used for stress release and entertainment, so if anything, they prevent violent behavior.
Yes. Research going back over 20 years has shown that children exposed to violence react in violent ways. The input of a video game makes it more real and the younger the child playing it the more real it seems to the child. A child under 7 years old can not tell the difference between what is real and what is make believe. Add the violence of movies and TV or any abuse at home and you have a child that will respond with violence. The maturity of the child is also a factor and if there are other problems.
