“…Most of the research examining the effects of media violence on aggression has involved visual media such as television programs or movies (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1963;Josephson, 1987;Malamuth & Check, 1981;Zillman & Weaver, 1999). Several recent studies report similar findings when violent media is operationalized as violent video games (Anderson & Dill, 2000;Cooper & Mackie, 1986;Gentile, Lynch, & Linder, 2004).…”

“…These mechanisms include moral justification for the act, displacement or diffusion or responsibility, minimizing or ignoring the consequences, or blaming and/or dehumanizing the victim. Exposure to media violence also shows an association with (a) an increase in aggressive feelings , (b) learning of aggressive behavior (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1963), and (c) learning of aggressive scripts (Huesmann, 1986).…”

“…For example, in one important study, nursery school students imitated the aggressive behavior they observed while watching a film (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1963). Bandura (1978) later applied this theory specifically to the learning of aggression.…”

The focus of this study was to investigate the relation between listening to music containing violent lyrics and interpersonal aggression. To examine this relation, participants wrote a brief essay and then received feedback from a second ostensible participant as part of a study on peer feedback and writing. Participants were assigned randomly to receive either positive or negative feedback from the other and were then provided an opportunity to evaluate an essay written by the other. Prior to receiving the feedback, participants were assigned randomly to listen to a song with either violent lyrics or non-violent lyrics.Consistent with previous research, those receiving provocative negative feedback reported more negative affect and evaluated the second participant"s essay more negatively than those who received positive feedback. However, despite finding a difference in perceived aggressive content between violent and non-violent songs, exposure to violent songs had no discernable effect on interpersonal aggression. The results provide mixed support for predictions made using the General Aggression Model (GAM).

“…The GAM integrates a number of the most influential theories in the area of aggression, including Bandura's social learning theory (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1961, 1963), Zillman's excitation transfer model (1983), Geen's affective aggression model (1990), Dodge and Crick's social information processing model (1990), the social cognitive model of media violence effects (Huesmann, 1986), and Berkowitz's cognitive neoassociationist model (Berkowitz, 1984(Berkowitz, , 1990). …”

“…However, studying the effects of media violence is not a new concept. For almost 50 years, researchers have been investigating the effects of viewing violent television on subsequent aggression (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1963;Ellis & Sekyra, 1973;Eron, Huesmann, Lefkowitz, & Walder, 1972;Huston-Stein, Fox, Greer, Watkins, & Whitaker, 1981;Liebert & Baron, 1972). It has only been within the past 10-15 years that researchers have begun studying the effects of video games.…”
