Keep Away Your Kids From Violent Video Games
According to a new study, when teenagers play violent video games, they become more emotionally revved up than if they play nonviolent video games.
The study was presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Chicago. It was observed that when teens were exposed to violent video games, they bacame more charged up emotionally. This finding may receive severe criticism from psychologists bacause of the negative effects of violent games.
Violent video games and internet are already receiving much flak from child psychologists worldwide. The growing number of cases on internet abuse and child molestation only add more to their woes.
The study was conducted on several healthy adolescents who were randomly assigned to play violent or non-violent video games for half an hour. But some more studies need to be conducted to know whether these temporary effects of violent games on the brain are linked to violent behavior in teens or not.
