That's the same paper I mentioned in my post on March 24: "I can't find any convincing evidence that mass-media violence induces _real-life_ aggression in people who would not otherwise have become aggressive. The last review I read of the topic (available at http://psych-server.iastate.edu/faculty/caa/abstracts/2000-2004/01AB.html), though deeply confident in its own conclusions, was laden with rhetoric that bordered on the extrascientific." --David Epstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
