[quote=Anonymous]I thought this was going to be a post to recent research. The last research I read (which was probably a decade ago) indicated that male children under a certain age (maybe 8?) saw the greatest effects from viewing violence and that the effects extended even to “violence” that we consider socially acceptable, like NFL games. No effect was seen in female subjects. That was one study that I thought was somewhat interesting. Would love to see more research on this. There’s also some research showing some causal link between some types of video games and certain issues with attention/impulse control, which can certainly also correlate with violent behavior. Again, effect seems more pronounced with male children.[/quote]
