Konijn and her colleagues report on the influence of violent video games on adolescents. They tell about the experiment: the boys were given to play violent and non-violent video games. They were then given a reaction time task and the winner got the chance to blast the loser with a very loud noise (they were told that the noise could cause permanent hearing damage). The test results were quite predictable: “…the most aggressive participants were those who played a violent game and wanted to be like a violent character in the game. These participants used noise levels loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage to their partners, even though their partners had not caused them.” (Konijn, et al. 2007).
