response to game violence gets slammed

after reading this article I have to ask myself "what am I really looking for?" because after reading this wonderful article i have just come up with more questions like "does race matter [In my research]?" because in this article it states that the experiment was made in the U.S and in Japan, so people must think that kids around the world are more likely to experience different things. but then theres also the question on if video games are even relevant to aggression. They failed to monitor they children's family home life. and that could have as much as an effect ( or more of one) than video games. What i found helpful is that this article was created today, so it will surely have another article close in the making. So i will be sure to have a lot more information on this since this article provided only a slight insight into this vast subject. This article helps me gain more knowledge on this subject because I don't have that much yet. so whatever information i can get is good. Also is helps me find out which side people generally take on this subject. this article didn't change my thinking. when i first read this article i thought that video games affect kids but indirectly. and when i finished reading this article i thought the same thing. there is one person that i will looking out for in the near future and he is Craig Anderson. He has very good opinions about this subject and is a very good critic. i will also be looking for new experiments that are about to take place or that are taking place right now. i need a much information that i can get a hold of.

Game violence study slammed

1. recent Iowa State University study which linked aggressive behavior to video game violence received a "backlash" from critics.
2. recent study of video game violence in America versus Japan
   
3. critics question meaningfulness of the study.
   
4. "In the literature review the authors suggest that research on video game violence is consistent when this is hardly the case," he continues. "The authors here simply ignore a wide body of research which conflicts with their views ... the authors link their results to youth violence in ways that are misleading and irresponsible ... if anything it is remarkable how little effect that violent games had on trait aggression [in the study], considering that other relevant variables were not controlled." - Christopher Ferguson
5. given the failure to control proper variables, and the such weak size effects the study ended in a failure
