    Violent games = violent kids? Gamespot Poll

    This poll is on GameSpot but I wanted to get the Pavilion perspective on it specifically.
    35
    Perhaps American parents can play a game themselves. It's called 'Good Parenting.'
    45.71%

    Playing Halo gets me a little amped, but I know real-life from fantasy.

    If I didn't have violent games, I'd be more violent. Better I take out polygons than a classmate.

    Don't make me cut you.

    Games don't influence life. I didn't see kids in the '80s eating pills and chasing ghosts. That was the '70s.

    Can you link to the study? I'd be interested in seeing who carried it out.

          The findings were presented to the American Psychological Association on Friday, the final day of its convention in Washington, DC, by Jessica Nicoll, BA, and Kevin M. Kieffer, PhD, of Saint Leo University.
          Gamespot just has an article about the study. There might be a link to the study itself in there, I only skimmed it. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/08...s_6131680.html

            Nevermind. Someone else posted the article. Still no link to the study or any mention as to what the study was called. I entered the names of the authors into google with no luck(Only finding that one article on gamespot as the result).
