Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games And What Parents Can Do $15.29 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 |

Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents by Anderson, Craig A.; Gentile, Douglas A.; Buckley, Katherine E. Edition ILL, 1 $28.99 Violent video games are successfully marketed to and easily obtained by children and adolescents. Even the U.S. government distributes one such game, America's Army, through both the internet and its recruiting offices. Is there any scientific evidence to support the claims that violent games contribute to aggressive and violent behavior? Anderson, Gentile, and Buckley first present an overview of empirical research on the effects of violent video games, and then add to this literature three new studies that fill the most important gaps. They update the traditional General Aggression Model to focus on both developmental processes and how media-violence exposure can increase the likelihood of aggressive and violent behavior in both short- and long-term contexts. Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents also reviews the history of these games' explosive growth, and explores the public policy options for controlling their distribution. Anderson et al. describe the reaction of the games industry to scientific findings that exposure to violent video games and other forms of media violence constitutes a significant risk factor for later aggressive and violent behavior. They argue that society should begin a more productive debate about whether to reduce the high rates of exposure to media violence, and delineate the public policy options that are likely be most effective.As the first book to unite empirical research on and public policy options for violent video games, Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents will be an invaluable resource for student and professional researchers in social and developmental psychology and media studies. |

There's More to Kids' Gifts than Just PSPs
It was only a straw poll. Yet the results were rather sad. The kids in the class were only six or seven, but the majority of the 30 considered their PSPs as their most prized possession. And playing on it was what made them happiest. Just a small number of the children bucked the trend, suggesting they were most contented with their family, playing football, or when looking after a baby sister.
The other noteworthy thing was the kids who loved their PSPs had been bought them - almost exclusively - for a birthday or Christmas. On top of that, a decent chunk of the remaining few seemed determined to acquire a handheld system in the near future. It seems nowadays kids' gifts, indeed a kid's life, need to involve Sony or Nintendo somewhere along the line.
Mind you, when my teacher fianc?e told me, I wasn't totally surprised. I remember sitting in a restaurant one evening, watching on as a kid no older than ten sat glued to his handheld Sony. His parents and peers were apparently a million miles away as he proceeded to shoot and pillage everything in sight. As I chowed down on my steak, three things sprung to mind. One, how the hell did his parents think the game was appropriate? Two, what does it say that this boy was far more interested in maiming animated strangers than socialising with real kids sat at the table? And three, I'm sure I'd read that total immersion in violent video games was a leading factor in the Columbine Massacre.
I'm no psychologist, granted, but this kid's behaviour just seemed wrong. "Put it down for five minutes," I thought. Talk about football with the bored kid sitting next to you. Something, anything, just stop killing people for a second. Now, I'm only assuming he'd been given it as a present, but it does make you wonder what's happened to children's gifts that don't involve staring emptily at a four-inch screen.
If you share my sentiments and you're keen to avoid a case of Grand Theft Childhood, there remain a whole host of unusual children's gifts. They're a glorious two-fingered salute to Final Fantasy, blue hedgehogs and Doom. Better yet, they're all available as personalised children's gifts, with everything from Spider-Man and Toy Story 3 books, to football and rugby money boxes. Plenty of cuddly toys are also in there, as well as wall-art canvases and lunchboxes.
