Video games & violence

[don allen]

Hi All-   A reporter from the local paper just asked me to comment about the recent reports in the J. of Adolescence that purport to show that exposure to violent video games produces violent behaviour in children. Our library hasn't received this issue yet so I haven't read the articles, but from the synopses that I've been able to glean from the web these look like more of the flawed, retrospective, correlational studies that have been touted in the past as "proof" that video games (or rap music, or television, etc) are the work of the Devil and will destroy our children. Has anyone had a chance to actually read these articles to see if they have any real substance? TIA for your input.   -Don.   Don Allen Psychology Dept. Langara College 100 W. 49th Vancouver, B.C.
