"The Guardian" - Violent games and Aggression

  • Problems with genre and games - 1st person shooter like CoD iis different from war strategy games
  • Study: the author was not a neurologist
  • Conduct disorder - stealing, fighting 8-9 years over several years; upto the age of 15.
  • Study does not look at social factors e.g. existing mental health, conduct disorder
  • Weak link between violent gaming is aggressive behaviour but this might just be competitiveness - refutes effects theories - counteracts moral panics
