effects of electronic games
Definition
- There is a great deal of controversy over what the effects of electronic games may be on young people. Public and media attention have tended to focus on the perceived harms of electronic game use—particularly claims that playing violent games may encourage violent behavior—and much experimental research has been done to attempt to establish such a link.
