Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games And What Parents Can Do


Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games And What Parents Can Do


$19.99


Listening to pundits and politicians, you'd think that the relationship between violent video games and aggressive behavior in children is clear. Children who play violent video games are more likely to be socially isolated and have poor interpersonal skills. Violent games can trigger real-world violence. The best way to protect our kids is to keep them away from games such as Grand Theft Auto that are rated M for Mature. Right? Wrong. In fact, many parents are worried about the wrong things! In 2004, Lawrence Kutner, PhD, and Cheryl K. Olson, ScD, cofounders and directors of the Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health and Media, began a $1.5 million federally funded study on the effects of video games. In contrast to previous research, their study focused on real children and families in real situations. What they found surprised, encouraged and sometimes disturbed them: their findings conform to the views of neither the alarmists nor the video game industry boosters. In Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth about Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do , Kutner and Olson untangle the web of politics, marketing, advocacy and flawed or misconstrued studies that until now have shaped parents' concerns. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all prescription, Grand Theft Childhood gives the information you need to decide how you want to handle this sensitive issue in your own family. You'll learn when -- and what kinds of -- video games can be harmful, when they can serve as important social or learning tools and how to create and enforce game-playing rules in your household. You'll find out what's really in the games your children play and when to worry about your children playing with strangers on the Internet. You'll understand how games are rated, how to make best use of ratings and the potentially important information that ratings don't provide. Grand Theft Childhood takes video games out of the political and media arenas, and puts parents back in control. It should be required reading for all families who use game consoles or computers. Almost all children today play video or computer games. Half of twelve-year-olds regularly play violent, Mature-rated games. And parents are worried... "I don't know if it's an addiction, but my son is just glued to it. It's the same with my daughter with her computer...and I can't be watching both of them all the time, to see if they're talking to strangers or if someone is getting killed in the other room on the PlayStation. It's just nerve-racking!" "I'm concerned that this game playing is just the kid and the TV screen...how is this going to affect his social skills?" "I'm not concerned about the violence; I'm concerned about the way they portray the violence. It's not accidental; it's intentional. They're just out to kill people in some of these games." What should we as parents, teachers and public policy makers be concerned about? The real risks

Does video game violence harm teens? New study weighs the research

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The amount scientific evidence could there be for and up against the assertion that exposure to game violence can harm teens?

Three scientific study has created a novel approach to consider that question: they analyzed the investigation creation of professionals who filed a brief inside of a U.S. Top court case involving violent video gaming and teens. wii remote

Their conclusion? Experts who say violent game titles are unhealthy for teens have published a great deal more evidence supporting their claims than have experts in opposition with the debate.

"We took what I think is certainly a objective approach: we investigated the individual's on sides in the debate and determined once they have expertise within the subjects whereby they call themselves experts," said Brad Bushman, co-author in the study and professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University.

"The evidence points too people who argue violent game titles for example ps3 controller are harmful have got a lot more experience and stronger credentials as opposed to runners who argue otherwise."

Bushman conducted the investigation with Craig Anderson, professor of psychology at Iowa State University, and Deana Pollard Sacks, professor of law at Texas Southern University. Their research is going to be published in May while in the Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy. 

Their study involved Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association, an incident until the U.S. Supreme Court that can decide regardless of if the state of California can ban the sale or rental of violent video gaming to children under 18. A legal court is anticipated to rule involved this summer.

In this case, groups supporting and opposing legal requirements have filed precisely what are called briefs of amicus curiae. These are briefs by people or groups who are not involved directly in the event, but desire to supply the court their expert opinion within the issues involved. xbox 360 controller

The researchers analyzed the credentials of the 115 people that signed the Gruel brief, who believe video violence hurts, as well as the 82 signers from the Millett brief, who believe video violence is not harmful. (The briefs are named following lead attorneys for every single side.)

The details for the study originated the PsycINFO database, which gives greater than 3 million references on the psychological literature from your 1800s to the current, including peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters or essays, and books.

For each and every from the signers of the two briefs, they calculated the quantity of articles and books they published on issues relating to violence and aggression in general as well as on media violence specifically.

The outcomes demonstrated that 60 percent in the Gruel brief signers (who believe computer game violence is harmful) have published at least one scientific study on aggression or violence normally, when compared to only 17 % on the Millett brief signers.

Moreover, if the researchers looked specifically in the subject of media violence, 37 percent of Gruel brief signers have posted at least one study in the area, in comparison to just 13 percent from the Millett brief signers.

In the further analysis, Bushman and Anderson examined the location where the signers of both briefs have published their research. The best academic journals contain the highest standards along with the most rigorous peer review, so exactly the best research must be published there, Bushman said.

The researchers used a well-established formula, referred to as impact factor, to determine the top-tier journals, and then calculated the quantity of signers had published over these journals.

Results showed that signers in the Gruel brief had published over 48 times more studies in top-tier journals than did individuals who signed the Millett brief.

"That's an astounding difference," Bushman said. "It provides strong support for your argument that game violence is indeed harmful."

Bushman said he and his awesome colleagues did this study since they needed to show that there's a simple means for the Top court to guage the contradictory evidence many experts have presented.

"The justices were given two briefs, arguing opposite sides, plus they might think the contradictory briefs simply cancel one out," Bushman said.

"We wanted to point out towards justices that not all briefs are identical. However, the credentials and connection with individuals who signed the Gruel brief exceeds that relating to those who signed the Millett brief."
