Research, Article - violent games influence aggression (Against)

The article gives valid evidence that violent computing gaming has no correlation to aggression.  It suggests that  "researchers found that the playing of such games actually had a very slight calming effect on youths with attention deficit symptoms and helped to reduce their aggressive and bullying behavior" 
this goes against the notion that violent games have an affect on aggression.

Research, Article - Violent games influence aggression

This article gives an insight of how violent games influence aggression and also provides evidence of this by using a observational study. It involves children playing violent games  and watching others play them, afterwards their behaviour was observed during their play session at school. The results showed that boys who played a violent video game were more aggressive afterwards than were boys who merely watched.
