position paper sources.

In my position paper, I am researching on why video games are bad for children. I have come across numerous resources stating that the violence in video games will influence children to similar terrible behaviors.

Here’s one source: In the article, “Violent Video Games Can Increase Aggression,” Karen E. Dill, Ph.D. and psychologists Craig A. Anderson, Ph.D., states that their studies reveal that young men who are exposed to violent games are more likely to be habitually aggressive and are more vulnerable to the aggression enhancing effects. Also their other study reveals that even a brief exposure to violent video games can temporarily increase aggressive behavior in all types of participants.

Another source: In an article called, “Video Games are Bad for Children, Study finds” it concluded that in another study, of more than 600 ordinary adolescence ranging from age 13 and 14, found that teachers noticed those who played violent games were more aggressive, likely to have more arguments with authority figures and more prone to fights with other students.

A third source: A new study released by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation explains that children age 0 till 6 are exposed to video games more than they should. They could have used that time wisely such as to play outside and interact with other children their age. They could have also used that time to do more educated and productive activities such as reading or being read to.
