Violent computor games

Experimental studies

 Anderson&Dill, white noise, Video game v Puzzle

Meta-Analysis

 Greitemeyer&Mürgge, 98, Violent games -> aggression,

Relationship overstated

 some studies show no relationship, Furguson&Kilburn- when aggression towards another person/crime is a measure

 Unrepresentative sample- US male undergrads, lack pop validity

Correlational, other variables

Ferguson, other variables weren't controlled that explain why pps want to play violent games, dissapears

Issues measuring aggression

 Measures are artificial such as noise blasts, PPS in longitudinal studies exposed to other media 

Game Mastery may be cause of aggression

 Przybylski, difficulty, frustration, non-violent games
