For everyone who is interested, there is a good summary of research regarding video games and violence: Australian Government, Attorney-General’s Department “Literature review on the impact of playing violent video games on aggression” (2010)<br><br><br>Even while being 10 years old, it's a good starting point to give yourself an overview about psychological research regarding this topic. If you want to read more, look at the sources and work your way deeper down that rabbit whole from there. For everone not willing to read this juggernaut, here a TL;DR:<br>Reserach regarding video games being a cause for aggressive behaviour is anything but conclusive, but most of the research done is done without real life context (For example noise blast experiment) and exists in it's own bubble.<br>Additionally, additional factor like social status or psychological illnesses have a MUCH bigger ingluence on violent thoughts and behaviour than simply playing video games. Pretty much what everyone with half a brain cell would tell you, but there you got some scientific evidence.<br>Im am currently studying psychology myself and therefore highly interested in this topic, and always shake my head in disbelief when some dimwhit politician spouts nonesense that isn neither backed up by research or not even giving a fucking source.
