Violent Video Games: Myths, Facts, and Unanswered Questions by Craig Anderson,
Ph. D., Iowa State University provides an in-depth summary of the research in a very readable form by addressing 11 Common Myths. In this powerful analysis released, October 2003, Anderson warns against any type of violent video game: “Cartoonish and fantasy violence is often perceived (incorrectly) by parents and public policy makers as safe for children. However, experimental studies with college students have consistently found increased aggression after exposure to clearly unrealistic and fantasy violent video game.” He also reminds us of the ever occurring results of violent entertainment, “High levels of violent video game exposure have been linked to delinquency, fighting at school and during free play periods, and violent criminal behavior.”
Violent Music Lyrics Increase Aggressive Thoughts and Feelings, According to a New Study, is a press release containing a summary of Dr. Craig Anderson’s research. Songs with violent lyrics increase aggressive thoughts and emotions and this effect is directly related to the violence in the lyrics.
