VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES AND AGGRESSION . Causal Relationship or Byproduct of Family Violence and Intrinsic Violence Motivation? CHRISTOPHER J. FERGUSON. STEPHANIE M. RUEDA. AMANDA M. CRUZ. DIANA E. FERGUSON. Texas A&M International University STACEY FRITZ. SHAWN M. SMITH. University of Wisconsin Whitewater Two studies examined the relationship between exposure to VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES and AGGRESSION or violence in the laboratory and in real life. Study 1 participants were either randomized or allowed to choose to play a VIOLENT or nonviolent game. Although males were more aggressive than females, neither randomized exposure to VIOLENT - VIDEO -game conditions nor previ- ous real-life exposure to VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES caused any differences in AGGRESSION .
violent video games may have greater influence on players than violent television, whereas others (e.g., Pinker, 2002) suggest that any link between video games and aggression is best explained by “third” variables, such as family environment or innate aggression.
