Nanyang Technological University professor John Wang and American psychologist Christopher Ferguson published a study on the connection between video games and aggressive behavior. According to its results, in the current format, video games cannot cause aggressive behavior.
The study involved 3034 young people. The scientists observed changes in the behavior of young men for two years and, according to them, video games cannot be associated with the development of aggression in young people. In addition, the researchers stated that they also did not record a decrease in prosocial behavior in the participants of the experience.
According to them, to get any serious changes that can be clinically recorded, you need to play games with an age rating of M for about 27 hours a day. According to the ESRB, this rating is assigned to video games with a lot of blood, violence, dismemberment and obscene sexual scenes.
