• Blazing Angels or Resident Evil? Can Violent Video Games be a Force for Good? (2010, background): “…low threshold for supporting theory in psychology and an emphasis on positive statistical significance over null results, including the “publication bias” effect (Cohen, 1994; Loftus, 1996; Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991; Uttal, 2007), research that supports the original concern is obligingly provided.”
• The Hitman Study Violent Video Game Exposure Effects on Aggressive Behavior, Hostile Feelings, and Depression (2010, unknown): “…leading to increased aggression (e.g., Anderson & Murphy, 2003; Bartholow & Anderson, 2002; Bartholow, Bushman, & Sestir, 2006) there are also a number of studies which do not support this link (e.g., Colwell & Kato, 2003; Ferguson, et al., 2008; Unsworth et al., 2007;Williams& Skoric, 2005).”
