The Affects of Video Game Play in Youth Behavior and Development

Alexandria Revoir

The Problem at Hand

The question of "do violent video games lead to violent behavior?" persists in our society. The concern is understandable and as parents, one of your main concerns is to keep your child safe. So is this issue preventable by blocking out certain aspects of the media? Recent research proves otherwise. Through many different research studies and participants, there has been no direct correlation between violent video game play and violent behavior. The issue of agressive or violent youth behavior is a more direct descendent from their immediate environments.

There has been much speculation over the decade about how media, especially video games, effects the behavior and emotions of the children who play them. Throughout countless studies, we do see that children who present aggressive behavior do play violent video games. However, there has been countless studies to show that there is not necessarily a coorelation.

According To Who?

Violent video games do not show to be a direct correlation to youth violence. According to one study by Whitney Decamp and Christopher J. Ferguson, youth violence and aggressive child behavior is healvilty related to immediate environments rather than violent behavior that could arise due to violent video game play. Throughout the course of this study, over 9000 students were studied from grades eighth to eleventh and resarchers consitenly found little to no correlation to youth violence perpreated by violent media (Decamp et al Ferguson, 2016). The general consensus was that violent or aggressive youth behavior stemmed from home enviornment, relationship with family and peers, as well as possible drug use. Children rely on thier soical agents to guide their behavior and see them as great influences; although media is a great social agent to help show emoitnal and social behavior, immiedaite influences such as family and peers show to be great influences on thier behavior and even greater influenes towards violent behavior.

There are of course still risk factors to be mindful and aware of when your child or children play video games. A study done by Zaheer Hussains and Mark Griffith discusses how video game play can become addictive. Monitoring Video game play is important when supervising video game play. The types of video games one plays can determine how they react and internalize the video games they play. Hussains and Griffith made notably stated that though games can be used as stress relief, playing video games can also cause addiction to the games that they are playing, large losses of time during playing and anti social tendencies (Hussains and Griffiths, 2009). It is recommended to monitor the time that is spent playing video games to ensure that these consequences do not result.
