Boys who don't play videogames 'are at risk'
Boys who don't play videogames 'are at risk'
Boys who don't play videogames at all are at greater risk of getting into trouble than those who play violent games occasionally, according to two Harvard psychologists. The pair also said there was also no evidence to suggest violent games turn young people into criminals or violent people, despite some media reports. picked by AutumnLotus 1 week ago

Finally someones talking some sense. Kids know the difference between entertainment and real life almost all the time, and if they don't it's not the fault of the thing that they are being entertained by.

However Dr Kutner and Dr Olsen said it was unclear if adult-rated games triggered aggressive behaviour, or if aggressive children were drawn to playing them.
That pretty much sums up the whole problem with studies like this.

There's just so many factors that play into an aggressive person ... blaming it all on just one piece of entertainment is to miss the big picture entirely.
