Craig Anderson, distinguished professor of psychology at Iowa State University and the director of Iowa State's Center for the Study of Violence? Exposure to violent video games directly causes increased aggressive thoughts and behavior, and decreased empathy and prosocial behavior in the youths exposed to them. Anderson's team says these study conclusions hold true across geographies, cultures, and study methods. "We can now say with utmost confidence that regardless of research method--that is experimental, correlational, or longitudinal--and regardless of the cultures tested in this study [East and West], you get the same effects: that exposure to violent video games increases the likelihood of aggressive behavior in both short-term and long-term contexts," Anderson said http://news.cnet.com/8301-27083_3-10462519-247.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20http://www.pcworld.com/article/186979/npd_recordbreaking_wii_ps3_sales_in_december.html
