Do violent video games cause violence in children?

There is scientific evidence that there is no directcorrelation between violent video games and violence in real life. However, people who play violent video games areusuallymoreprone tohaving shorter tempers, grumpier personalities, etc. In reality, it is up to the users' discretionwhetheror not to play the video games.Addendum:The "scientific" study that is so often used was conducted in the 1950's, decades before the development of the first commercial video game. What was used was violent images from comic books and serial movies. As stated, the only correlation that can be made from the original study is the people with alleged violent tendencies also have the tendency to be attracted to violent images. Go figure! There is no causation as implied by the question.

Does game violence make teens aggressive?

MAIN ANSWER:There is no proof that violence in video games and movies makes children and teens behave violently. However, watching violent scenes does seem to desensitize them to such violence. This means that they see so many violent scenes on the TV, movie screens, and video games that they are no longer shocked by them. This includes the stuff they splash across the screens during the daily news report. People are no longer horrified by bloodshed and mayhem, because they saw something much worse on the TV just yesterday.SUPPORTING INFO:Major studies have been done recently on this subject by reputable sources, namely The Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health, The Journal of Adolescent Health, and The British Medical Journal, which have shown no conclusive link between video game usage and violent activity.


What is the biological approach to violent behavior?

The biological approach to violent behavior suggests that genetics, brain structure, and neurotransmitter imbalances can influence an individual's propensity towards violence. Factors such as genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, and neurological conditions may contribute to an increased likelihood of engaging in violent behavior. Biological interventions, such as medication or therapy targeting these underlying factors, can help manage and decrease violent tendencies in individuals.
