Description:

Your textbook discussed the negative effects of observing violent acts in the laboratory. We often hear that playing violent video games increases aggression in children and adolescents. However, this issue is not as cut and dry as it appears. Explore this issue yourself. 1. Examine the learning theories presented in the textbook and trustworthy scientific sources to find evidence to support ONE of the following claims: Observing Violence in the media (tv, movies, social media, video games) has a direct and negative effect on the aggressive behaviors of children and adolescents. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that observing Violence in the media (tv, movies, social media, video games) has a direct and negative effect on the aggressive behaviors of children and adolescents. 2. What are alternative explanations for aggression and violence, rather than just observing violence in the media?

 

Please use observational learning theory.
