Evidence for publication bias in video game violence effects literature: A meta-analytic review (2007, methodology): “Other measures of “aggression” applied in laboratory settings include relatively innocuous physiological measures of arousal such as brainwaves ( Bartholow, Bushman, and Sestir, 2006 ) and heart rate (Fleming & Rickwood, 2001), interpreting the actions of a character in a story (Bushman & Anderson, ”
Playing With Prejudice: The Prevalence and Consequences of Racial Stereotypes in Video Games (2011, background): “Recent brain research even demonstrates differences in the brain's empathic responding based on differential video game exposure ( Bartholow, Bushman, & Sestir, 2006 ).”
Exposure to hate speech increases prejudice through desensitization (2018, background): “Moreover, violence desensitization is observed at the brain level in the P300 component of the event related potential, associated with the activation of the aversive motivational system (Bartholow et al., 2006).”
The effect of video game violence on physiological desensitization to real-life violence. (2007, background): “For example, one study found that past violent video game exposure was related to reduced P300 amplitudes when exposed to violent photos, even after controlling for initial levels of aggressiveness ( Bartholow, Bushman, & Sestir, 2006 ).”
You are who you watch: Identification and transportation effects on temporary self-concept (2010, background): “Because entertainment media often centers on violent, promiscuous, and amoral characters (eg, Cowan & O’Brien, 1990 ; Bar et al, 2001 ; McIntosh, Murray, Murray, & Manian, 2003 ), many in the public and scientific spheres (eg, Anderson et al, 2003 ; Bartholow, Bushman & Sestir, 2006 ) have expr”
Violent Video Games as Exemplary Teachers: A Conceptual Analysis (2008, background): “…additional risk factors are observed for aggressive behavior and desensitization to violence (again in parallel with the data on viewing violent television; e.g., Anderson and Dill 2000; Anderson et al. 2003, 2007; Bartholow et al. 2006; Carnagey et al. 2007; Gentile 2003; Gentile et al. 2004).”
Causal effects of violent sports video games on aggression: Is it competitiveness or violent content? (2009, background): “Other studies link violent video game play to physiological desensitization to violence (e.g., Bartholow, Bushman, & Sestir, 2006; Carnagey, Anderson, & Bushman, 2007).”
This is your brain on violent video games: Neural desensitization to violence predicts increased aggression following violent video game exposure (2011, positive): “Finally,wepredictedthattheP3elicitedbyviolentpictures would negatively predict aggressive behavior (see Bartholow et al., 2006), and would mediate the relationship between violent game exposure and aggressive behavior.”
