Ferguson conducted three studies on 12- to 18-year-old gamers, which will be published in September. But in the meantime, he released the gist of his findings.
Basically, the studies found no correlation between shooting fake people on a computer monitor or TV screen and real-world aggression.
„Following violent tragedies involving young men, many frequently point to violent video games as a cause for the behavior, but the research does not back this up,“ Ferguson said. „As violent video games became more popular, it was understandable for them to fall under intense scrutiny, and claims about their harms and benefits may have been exaggerated including by the scholarly community.“
