Annotation
This article examines the impact of violent video games on aggressive behavior
in children from psychological and educational perspectives. In the modern digital era,
children are increasingly exposed to interactive media, many of which contain violent
content. The study analyzes whether such exposure influences children’s emotions,
thoughts, and behaviors. It also considers different academic viewpoints, including
research that supports a direct link between violent video games and aggression, as
well as studies that emphasize the role of environmental and social factors such as
family and peers. The paper concludes that violent video games may contribute to
aggressive behavior, but they are not the sole cause. This research helps to better
understand children’s media consumption and its psychological effects.
