Dr. Tanya Byron's violent video games report

theGrim Wrote:She was pretty sparse on the details on the actual correlation between video games and violence, but basically she said yes, there was a connection, however "unclear" it was.

Careful - there is a very big difference between correllary, and causational findings.

A guy who gets lung cancer from long-term smoking is a causational relationship; gaming and aggression share a correlary relationship - just because both factors increase at the same time does not mean they're directly linked.

Most anti-gaming pundits usually try to convince their audience that it's a causational relationship, which unprofessional, imho.
