Definition

  • The general aggression model (GAM), proposed in 1995 by Craig Anderson, William Deuser, and Kristina DeNeve, is a general model of aggression that can explain many facets of aggressive behavior. It has been used primarily to understand the effects of media violence on aggression, including such effects among children and adolescents.
