Get back to me when you want to add a critical evalution of the Anderson study, I evaluated and commented on the other links.

At some point, you need to do more than "google".

I clubbed my little brother over the head with a hammer and I blame it all on Donkey Kong.

Already was answered in posting #31. So, what are your critical objections to the processes, methodologies and statistical analysis done in the Anderson study?

[cjma79]

Basically, they don't dispute the Anderson and Bushman study results, however they claim that there could be multiple variables contributing to behavior. In other words, the research shows a linkage that could be attributable to other factors, such as predispositions towards being interested in more violent games being a core variable in behavior attributes vs the games themselves.

The Illinois paper was mostly just a summary without core analysis, hypothesizing that teamwork and interactions should be factored into future game impact studies too. It doesn't have data concerning specific studies that can be critically evaluated. The London stuff was just an article summarizing other work, not their own critical evaluation.
so now you are the God and can pick the ones you like vs the ones that you dont want,, what was the result???

So where we are is the data I provided is very specific, however root cause is subject to critical evaluation. Such is life when conducting studies evaluating behavior, however there are indications in the Anderson study of substantive stimulus-behavior linkage. Cause for linkage could be subsequently critically evaluated, likely using multi-variate evaluation and segmentation techniques.[/quote]

International Journal of Liability and Scientific Enquiry, Patrick Kierkegaard suggests that there is scant scientific evidence that video games are anything but harmless and do not lead to real world aggression. And, he also makes a case that the incidence of violent crimes are in fact down, despite increasing sales of aggressive video games.

Could Violent Video Games Reduce Rather Than Increase Violence?

Pretty much. I feel this way when people say rap music is the reason kids are so violent; it's a scapegoat. I used to play paperboy, but it never made me want to hurl papers through people's windows.

People should just be honest and say:

"I don't like this violent video games because my child pays more attention to them then they do to me"

Yeah really, I mean what's the big deal? The only thing that's fun and amusing is video game violence. There's always going to be gaming violence and nobody's going to prevent the violent gaming industry. That's just life. Violent video games rule!

As for hip hop, I prefer old school rap than the modern era.

People who critcize violent video games and hip hop, they don't know nothing of it.

It focuses on long term behavior impact vs the immediate reaction of folks after playing video games. Could mean that longer time lags after game completion may lead to lessening tendencies towards violent behaviors.

So once again, what flaws did you find in the Anderson analysis?
