Preferred term

aggressive schemas  

Definition

  • Despite plentiful evidence of a link between exposure to media violence and aggression, it is unclear what theoretical mechanism accounts most elegantly for the data. Although both physiologically based theories (e.g., excitation transfer) and predominantly cognitive theories have been supported, both offer a better explanation for short-term increases in aggression than for the longterm effects that have been found.
