Annotated Bibliography
In the article, “ The effects of violent video games on aggression”, it is made clear that no real evidence has yet been found regarding whether or not video games enhances furthers aggression. It implies that most of the results thus far indicate that they do not, “The results suggest that playing even the most violent of games for extended times may not increase aggression”(Sherry, 2001), however, the author also states that further research must be done. The author also states that one of the more accepted conclusions is that video games cause less aggression than television, but that more studies should be done. In the article, the conclusion are mostly in favour of video games actually helping with aggression, but that further studies should be made while keeping certain aspects in mind, “there is a trend suggesting that longer playing times result in less aggression”(Sherry, 2001).
