In a study published in the American Psychological Association's Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 227 college students were asked to rate their level of aggression and indicate their level of exposure to video game violence. The study found that students who reported playing more violent video games engaged in more aggressive behavior [Source: Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (2000) 78:772-790]. Which of the following conclusions can you make on the basis of this study? Playing violent video games is associated with more aggressive behavior. Violent video games make students more aggressive. Nonviolent video games make students less aggressive. There is no relationship between violent video games and aggression.

What do you think of modeling and our ability to learn observationally? Is there more to learning, or can we pick up a lot of our behavior by watching others? Optional: Is violence in video games a social problem?

Researchers administered a survey to 227 students. Exposures to violent video games positively correlated to aggressive behaviour (e.g., "how many times in the past year did you hit somebody?"). This relation was stronger for men and those scoring high on aggressive personality (e.g., "some of my friends think I'm a hothead"). Do you think this research shows that exposures to violence in media increase aggressive behaviours? If you were to make one change to how this research was conducted, what change would you make? Write your response in about 150 words.
