Results of
four mid-1970s experiments continue to be used as evidence that
exposure to media violence desensitizes children to real-life aggression.
This study replicated procedures from those experiments using contemporary
video materials, and results confirmed original findings that children
tend to tolerate more the aggressive behaviors of others if they
have first seen television or film violence. (TJQ)
