Anderson, Craig A, et al. “Supplemental Material for Violent Video Game Effects on Aggression, Empathy, and Prosocial Behavior in Eastern and Western Countries: A Meta-Analytic Review.” Psychological Bulletin, vol. 136, Mar. 2010, pp. 151–173., doi:10.1037/a0018251.supp.
This meta-study reconsiders the idea that exposure to violent video games makes one more prone to aggressive behavior. The analysis of the studies exposes a lack of cohesive information confirming this, and uses restrictive measures to identify the relevant information. The document also features a cross-cultural examination, which is missing from many other studies. This feature reveals slight differences in the effects of video games on the participants depending on factors such as age.
