Role of Violent Video Games in Aggression and Violent Behaviour of Young Adults: Psychological Perspective

Abstract

Violent video games have been found to be promoting aggression, reduction of empathy, and increased chances of self-injury and isolation. There are various pieces of evidence that support the claim that violent games are responsible for the aggression and violent behaviour of young adults. This particular article has been developed around that particular claim while providing evidence to support the claim. Peer-reviewed journals and online articles have been used to collect the required evidence and support the claim. The secondary method of data collection has been used in the study to provide a psychological perspective on the entire topic. The rising popularity of violent video games makes it quite important to explore the subject matter. This article thus provides fresh insights into the frequently talked-about topic of the adverse effects of violent games on the behaviour of young adults.
