Those experiments demonstrate that the effects of violent video games on aggression are independent of the games’ effects on arousal or affect (C. A. , 2004). The above findings reveal research trends found in a meta-analysis of existing empirical research on the effects of violent video games. That analysis found that the effect of violent video games on aggression positively associates with type of game violence and negatively relates to time spent playing the games (Sherry, 2001).

These studies affirm the conclusion that high levels of exposure to violent television during childhood can promote aggression in later childhood, adolescence, and even young adulthood.

As expected from a psychological model that seeks to 38 Adolescents, Media, and the Law unify prior approaches, GAM focuses both on individual and situational factors that may influence aggression; considers how emotions, cognitions, and arousal interact to produce aggression; and accounts for the initial development as well as the persistence of aggressive behavior.
