According to a recent long-term study, the content of violence in the media is not linked to real-life violence, and questions have been raised about the methods of research previously showing relevance.
Psychologist Christopher Ferguson and his team say they have not found evidence linking violent content in the media to real-life violence, such as movies and video games.
During the investigation, Ferguson and his regiment looked for media works related to the depiction of violence from 1920 to 2005, and then compared it to the real world of a considerable period.
The team not only found that actual violence was not caused by media violence, but even reduced the incidence of real violence.
The data confirms the previous ESRB study of violence and violence against young people, which means that the content of the game violence reduces the incidence of violence.
In his paper, Ferguson concludes that video games and movies can draw the public out of social pressure, such as poverty, which may be the culprit of real violence.
