“…Consistently, correlational and experimental research has linked exposure to media violence with increases in aggressive behavior, thoughts, and feelings in children, adolescents, and young adults [Anderson and Bushman, 2001;Anderson and Dill, 2000;Ballard and Lineberger, 1999;Fling et al, 1992;Griffiths and Hunt, 1995]. Moreover, the effect sizes for media violence and aggression tend to be stronger than the effect sizes for condom use and sexually transmitted HIV, passive smoking and lung cancer at work, exposure to lead and IQ scores in children, nicotine patch and smoking cessation, and calcium intake and bone mass [Anderson and Bushman, 2001].…”

This study assessed the speed of recognition of facial emotional expressions (happy and angry) as a function of violent video game play. Color photos of calm facial expressions morphed to either an angry or a happy facial expression. Participants were asked to make a speeded identification of the emotion (happiness or anger) during the morph. Typically, happy faces are identified faster than angry faces (the happy-face advantage). Results indicated that playing a violent video game led to a reduction in the happy face advantage. Implications of these findings are discussed with respect to the current models of aggressive behavior.

“…In a more recent survey of 153 typical adolescents and adolescents with diagnosed emotional disturbance (sixth through twelfth graders, 49 girls), Fling et al [1992] demonstrated a positive correlation between self-reported frequency of playing any kind of video games and self-reports of aggressive behavior. This finding was not replicated in a similar survey of 346 typical seventh and eighth graders by Van Schie and Wiegman [1997].…”

Associations between a preference for violent electronic games and adolescents' self-perceptions of problem behaviors and emotions were examined. It was predicted that a preference for violent games would be associated with negative externalizing characteristics, in particular aggressive emotions and behaviors, on the Youth Self-Report (YSR), a standardized self-report measure of adolescent problem behaviors. Thirty-two 11-through 15-year-olds (17 girls) listed and categorized favorite electronic games into one of six predetermined categories and completed the YSR. MANOVA revealed significant relationships between a preference for violent games and the Thought Problems subscale (P < .01) and YSR Total Score (P < .05), with trends noted for the Internalizing (P < .06) and Anxious-Depressed (P < .08) subscales. Expected relationships with externalizing behaviors, including aggression, were not found. However, across all YSR subscales, children with higher preference for violent games had more clinically significant elevations than those with low preference for violent games. On the Total Problems subscale, of the eight children receiving scores in the clinically significant range, six were in the High preference group (three boys and three girls). The failure to find the expected relationships between a preference for violent games and aggressive, externalizing behaviors is puzzling. It is possible that individuals with a preference for violent games may have high exposure to all forms of media violence. Their perceptions of their own behavior, in comparison, may not seem sufficiently aggressive to justify endorsement of problems in this area. Or, playing violent electronic games may promote a disconnection between the emotions normally associated with violence and violent acts. These explanations are consistent with a desensitization model where exposure to media violence decreases sensitivity to aggression. Aggr. Behav. 28:134-144, 2002.

“…Veliki broj korelacionih studija ukazuje na to da postoji značajna pozitivna korelacija između izloženosti nasilju u video-igricama i agresivnog ponašanja (Anderson i Dill, 2000;Anderson et al, 2007;Dominic, 1984;Fling et al, 1992;Lin i Lepper, 1987). Efekat izloženosti nasilju u igricama na agresivno ponašanje ostaje i kada se uzmu u obzir značajne moderatorske varijable.…”

“…Iz toga zaključujemo da bi bilo pogrešno svesti početnu povezanost između nasilnosti video-igrica i vršnjačkog nasilja na uticaj pola, uzrasta i gledanja nasilnih TV sadržaja. Naši nalazi su u saglasnosti sa rezultatima autora koji su se bavili povezanošću igranja nasilnih igrica i agresivnog ponašanja uopšte, pri čemu su dobijani mali, ali značajni efekti (Anderson i Dill, 2000;Anderson et al, 2007,;Dominic, 1984;Fling et al, 1992;Griffiths, 1999;Lin i Lepper, 1987). Rezultati su saglasni i sa nalazima Bilićeve o povezanosti igranja nasilnih igrica i gledanja nasilnih TV sadržaja i vršnjačkog nasilja (Bilić, 2010).…”

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi učestalost igranja video-igrica kod adolescenata u Srbiji, nasilnost igrica, kao i kvalitet roditeljske kontrole nad igranjem video-igrica. Želeli smo da dovedemo u vezu razlike u učestalosti igranja video-igrica i njihovoj nasilnosti sa vršnjačkim nasiljem i školskim uspehom adolescenata. U istraživanju su učestvovali dečaci i devojčice (N = 578) iz četiri uzrasne grupe (12, 14, 16 i 18 godina). Rezultati istraživanja govore da većina ispitanika igra video-igrice (75.1%), pri čemu među njima ima značajno više dečaka nego devojčica i više starijih nego mlađih ispitanika. Roditeljska kontrola je slaba, veoma mali procenat ispitanika (4.4%) navodi da su im roditelji zabranili neku igricu zbog njenog sadržaja, roditelji, uglavnom, nikad ne proveravaju igrice koje igraju njihova deca (50.2 %) i u najvećem broju slučajeva (4.6 %) čak i ne pričaju s decom o igricama koje ona igraju. Školski uspeh je negativno povezan sa učestalošću igranja (r = -0.228, p <.01), a učestalost igranja ostaje značajan prediktor školskog uspeha i kada se kontrolišu pol i uzrast.Oni koji igraju nasilnije igrice češće ispoljavaju vršnjačko nasilje (r = 0.403, p <.01). Takav efekat ostaje i kada se uzmu u obzir pol, uzrast i nasilnost sadžaja koji se gledaju na televiziji i učestalost gledanja televizije. Nasilnost igrica kao prediktor jedinstveno doprinosi objašnjenju individualnih razlika u vršnjačkom nasilju; radi se o faktoru koji ima mali ali značajan doprinos objašnjenju te vrste agresivnog ponašanja.Ključne reči: vršnjačko nasilje, agresivno ponašanje, video-igrice, nasilnost sadržaja, roditeljska kontrola. UvodSve veću pažnju stručnjaka privlači uticaj koji video-igrice s nasilnim sadržajem mogu da imaju na mlade (Anderson, 2010). Zabrinutost se javila zbog količine vremena koje mladi provode u igranju igrica, pri čemu se ima u vidu dobro potvrđen nalaz u psihologiji da gledanje nasilja povećava verovatnoću kasnijeg agresivnog reagovanja (Bandura et al., 1963). Budući da je u velikom broju studija jasno pokazano da gledanje nasilnih TV sadržaja povećava kasnije agresivno ponašanje (za 1
