| Garioshi 02/22/18 2:12:27 PM #54 | GregShmedley posted... Anyway, @Garioshi Let's go through these one by one, shall we? Study #1 is heavily flawed in its conclusions. Children that were shown media that depicted guns were more likely to pull the trigger of a gun. No shit. It doesn't mean that media that depicts violence encourages violence. If you performed the same experiment with, I don't know, media depicting people playing instruments and an instrument, I'm sure you would get the same result. Even if you counted that study as encouraging violent behavior, it does not mean that a person is desensitized to the point of having remorse for committing an act of violence, like you initially claimed. Study #2 does not define what "aggressive behavior" is, and I have no way of telling whether or not the observed behavior is actually "aggressive". Again, no link between media depicting violence and a complete desensitization to violence. Study #3 shows no methodology and still has no definition for "aggressive behavior". The one paragraph that talks about video games being violent talks about one Craig A. Anderson, who has said, "The 14-year-old boy arguing that he has played violent video games for years and has not ever killed anybody is absolutely correct in rejecting the extreme "necessary and sufficient" position, as is the 45-year-old two-pack-a-day cigarette smoker who notes that he still does not have lung cancer. But both are wrong in inferring that their exposure to their respective risk factors (violent media, cigarettes) has not causally increased the likelihood that they and people around them will one day suffer the consequences of that risky behavior." He has also frequently been critiqued over his methodology and has NOT proven causation between video games and violent behavior. I believe he has a very obvious agenda and can't be trusted on the subject of media depicting violence. Again, none of this supports your original claim. Study #4's first experiment assumes that shooters and racing games are "equally exciting", and then chalks up "aggressive" behavior to the fact that the shooter depicts violence. I don't know about you, but I get a little more tense playing a shooter than a racing game. Its next experiment finds that the child who played a shooter instead of an "equally exciting" non-violent game (which I have some serious doubts over) had more aggressive thoughts, which, aside of being impossible to empirically measure, does not mean that the child will necessarily have more violent behavior, and that they had "increased cardiovascular arousal", which means they were just breathing faster. Again, I breathe a lot faster playing a shooter than a racing game. I don't have enough time to decontstruct the rest of the experiments detailed in Study #4, but what I've seen does not set a good example. Regardless, I see zero evidence that "violent media desensitizes people to where they don't have a feeling of remorse for committing a violent act." None of the studies you linked had any data on feelings of remorse after committing a violent act. --- |
