Correlation Madness (Score 1)

Grrrr.... This annoys me so much I registered an account just to voice my opinion on the subject.

I am by no means an expert, but I have reviewed about 6 different research papers claiming this same revelation and also a few claiming the opposite. I cannot emphasize enough the "sometimes questionable" approach researches take to find a connection and how they evaluate relevant topics in relation to the paper.

Let me be more precise... One of the papers I researched evaluated that "getting into an argument with a teacher" was aggressive behavior. This meant that kids playing games and arguing with their teachers were violent. I've only briefly skimmed this article and it looks as thou the professor attaches violence values based on favorite games in a genre. So if the top 3 favorite sports games are violent then the entire category is deemed violent and thus everyone playing games in the category sport, plays violent games...

That's one approach I guess... I have also failed to notice any description as to what is deemed "violent" content. Is shooting something violent? Probably... But is pushing violent? Then basketball is a damn violent sport...
