Violent Video Games Does Not Increase Risk of Anti-social Behavior in Teens
Aug 27th 2013, 14:59


Violent video games did not aggravate symptoms or create aggression in teens who suffered depression or attention deficit disorder (ADD).

On the contrary, researchers found that when kids with ADD played such video games, they experienced a calming effect with reduced aggression and bullying behavior.

"We found no evidence that violent video games increase bullying or delinquent behavior among vulnerable youth with clinically elevated mental health symptoms," researchers said.

The general forms of youth violence were connected with aggressiveness and stress and not violence due to playing video games, the study revealed.

The results of the study are published in Springer's Journal of Youth and Adolescence.
