Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of studies on media violence and aggressive behavior are correlational, meaning that they do not establish a causal relationship between the two variables. While some studies do suggest a link between media violence and aggression, the evidence is mixed and not conclusive. Additionally, most studies do not distinguish between different types of media, such as passive (e.g. television) vs. active (e.g. video games). Furthermore, while adolescents are often studied, there is also research on how media violence affects younger children and adults.
