WILSON QUARTERLY

The article talks about the history of violent video games and how critics' opinions on them is not true. Statistics show that teen violence is dropping even though violent games continue to be released.
2) CAUTION: Children at Play
The article goes into detail to prove that there is no epidemic of youth violence in North America.

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070403-study-finds-stable-personalities-unaffected-by-violent-games.html
Studies and experiments with groups of youths has shown that people susceptible to being influenced by game playing will respond to a violent game depending on the emotional state of the player right before they begin playing.
4) The gaming-violence connection: why society finds it comforting
By John Timmer
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070301-8959.html
Article talks about how the media and government fail to provide scientific proof that video games corrupt the youth. There is a seven in ten million chance of a student being victim to a homicide. Video games are being used as a scapegoat. |
