Most Objective Studies Find No Link between Video Game Play and Youth Violence
The most objective and methodologically sound studies of video game play and aggressive behavior find no link between the two.
Perhaps the most compelling and direct evidence of this can be found in two studies whose primary purpose was to objectively review existing research on the subject and subsequently form an overall conclusion as to whether media and games can be linked to aggressive behavior.
Both studies, one conducted by the United States Surgeon General and one conducted by the Government of Australia, found no such link.
