In army and sniper games, players compete with each other based in part on how many people they kill.
Often considered one of the formative contributions to the study of violence and video games, the GAM helps explain the complex relationship between violent video games and aggressive gamers.
Anderson and Bushman refer to three internal facets — thoughts, feelings, and physiological responses — that determine how a person interprets aggressive behavior. Short-term effects were easily identified in the GAM; the most prominent being that violent games change the way gamers interpret and respond to aggressive acts.
The American Psychological Association APA have made their own attempt to get to the bottom of the connection between violent games and acts of aggression in young people. However, like many before, the APA researchers concede that more research is still needed before firm conclusions can be drawn. Complicating matters is that it is rare for a single factor to trigger acts of violence. Therefore, a nuanced approach is necessary to understand how violent video games may act in tandem with other potential risk factors for violence.
The APA concluded that violent video games are indeed linked to increased aggression among players. However, they also point out that evidence linking this aggression to actual violence and delinquency is lacking. Critics in the scientific community have also questioned whether a link exists at all. They argue that studies to date have been plagued with shortcomings, for instance by relying too heavily on self-reported data about aggressive acts.
They also point out that even when studies do establish a connection, that connection is often very weak. Nevertheless, some research findings do present stark dilemmas to parents. Researcher Jay Hull has been one of the most prolific contributors to the scientific literature underpinning violence and video games.
In the study , regular players were twice as likely to be punished in this way compared to infrequent players. Long-term effects of violent video games are still uncertain and are fiercely debated.
