SAINT LEO, Fla. (United Press International via COMTEX) — An empirical review by U.S. researchers of 20 years of research on violent video games shows the games can increase aggressive behavior in children.
Jessica Nicoll and Kevin M. Kieffer of Saint Leo University found youth who played violent video games for a short time experienced an increase in aggressive behavior following the video game.
Furthermore, players of violent video games “tend to imitate the moves that they just ‘acted out’ in the game they played,” said Kieffer.
For example, children who played violent karate games duplicated this type of behavior while playing with friends. The researchers said the findings demonstrate the possible dangers associated with playing this type of video game over and over again.
The findings were presented at the 113th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in Washington.
