Description:
The goal of this course is to examine the impact of violent video games on aggression and violence in youth and/or young adults. There is an active argument in the literature about whether exposure to violent video games produces increases in aggression and/or violence and whether any effect size is significant enough to warrant some of the positions taken in public and professional policy. In this article, we will explore some of these issues.
