Topic research violence in videogames
The document discusses research into how violence in video games affects youth. It notes that video games encourage players to become part of the game itself on a deeper physical and emotional level than passive media like TV and films. This deeper engagement could make youth more susceptible to influence. Both positives and negatives are discussed, with positives including improved skills but negatives including increased aggression and poor academic performance. Statistics are presented showing youth dedicate many hours to media entertainment. The document also lists some of the most violent video games of 2015.
Videogames
Videogames are an important medium to study alongside film for media examinations. While videogames share similarities with film as a contemporary media, they differ in that players are both the audience and actively participate through gameplay. Many early videogames, especially adventure and beat 'em up genres, tended to represent masculinity through themes of violence, misogyny, and portraying men as thuggish and women as victims or sexual objects. Although the average gamer is now older, historically most games were designed by mostly male developers for a perceived core male audience.

Research shows youth spend over seven hours daily with media. Violent content in popular games is described, and examples of the most violent games from 2015 are provided. The document considers how these facts could be presented in an documentary with an off-screen presenter.
Violence In Video Games by Jamie Proudlock
The document discusses research on the relationship between media violence and real-world aggression. Some studies have found short-term increases in aggression in children after viewing violent movies or TV. However, other researchers argue these lab studies fail to account for other factors like mental health or family life. While some research links violent video games to aggression, studies have also found youth violence decreased as video game popularity rose. The document concludes that there is no conclusive evidence that media alone causes violence, and factors like culture, parenting, and access to mental healthcare need consideration.
Coop First: 7 Rules for Collaborative Game Design
This document outlines 7 rules for cooperative (coop) game design. It begins by defining games and discussing trends in the industry, including ubiquitous connected devices, mainstream all-ages players, and user-generated content. It then presents the 7 rules: 1) compete with the system, 2) shared goals and outcomes, 3) interdependent roles, 4) cooperative rituals and gestures, 5) shared resources and access, 6) non-zero stats and spotlights, 7) user-generated content strategy. The document advocates designing coop games around these principles rather than individual rankings, goals, roles, hoarding, and winner-take-all outcomes.

Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th is considered one of the most superstitious days in the United States. People believe it increases accident rates by 52% due to excessive fear. Horror films like Friday the 13th have been made to further scare people, featuring demonic characters like Jason and Freddy. Common symbols of bad luck on this day include black cats crossing one's path or walking under ladders. Quite severe psychological problems can develop from the fears and trauma associated with this day, resulting in more casualties in the United States. Mythical cats were often seen as symbols of doom and death.

Violence among youngsters: should we blame video games?
Video games are often blamed for real-world violence, but the evidence is mixed. While some violent incidents have been linked to playing violent video games, research has not proven that video games alone cause aggression.

1) Violence in games and their rating systems aim to inform consumers but are often ignored, particularly by teenagers. While games don't cause violence, parents must teach morals.
2) Games can be educational by improving skills like reflexes, multitasking and micro-management. However, some claim they "rot brains" without evidence.
3) Stereotyping is a minor problem for younger gamers but most find stereotypes humorous between friends from different cultures.
Emily Hunt's Ada's List Conference Talk
The document discusses how technology may be contributing to growing intolerance. It finds that those identifying as "alt-right" are 2.5 times more likely to engage in harmful online behavior than others. Research suggests anger is significantly related to intolerance for about 28% of people with relatively low political sophistication. When people feel anger on social media, it is often due to a sense of betrayal, losing agency, or a perceived injustice. Participation in violence can stem from a belief that one's group is entitled to more resources than another group. The document concludes by showing self-reported harmful online behaviors are more common among those identifying as alt-right compared to others.

Summary:
According to the article of the guardian.com, which focuses on the claims that video games lead to violence by Dean Burnett. Video games are the cause of violence that is what the media says when a school shooting happens. Video games are always blamed on those acts. Recent studies have shown that video games really do cause violence. Dr Mario Vance conducted a longitudinal study that monitors the anger levels of gamers and the results have shown that there is an increase in aggression and anger levels. The media claims that gamers can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality, but the research proves that there isn’t enough evidence to support that claim. In addition, some people such as Roy Parker are against video games and think that video game should be banned, because of the blood and violence that they show.
Quotations:
"It's ridiculous that they're even allowed. I don't want my children growing up in a world where horrible stuff like that is just out there where anybody can come across it and be damaged by it."
"A bias is one thing, but turning a brutal and deadly shooting into an excuse to attack a tenuously linked entertainment medium? That borders on pathological."
"The media's main concern appears to be that enthusiastic gamers can't differentiate between games and the real world, so violent games will result in violent behaviour. But anyone who has the cognitive faculties to purchase, set up and operate modern games consoles won't have trouble differentiating between a cartoonish fantasy world and reality."
Paraphrasing:
Original paragraph:
Dr Vance and his colleagues assessed daily reports submitted by willing gamers as to their aggression levels and violent tendencies, and over 90% of subjects reported dramatic increases in anger and violent inclinations whenever they viewed a news story that associated video games and violent behavior. The remaining subjects were not included as they were typically too busy punching walls or screaming incoherent threats at traffic. The media's main concern appears to be that enthusiastic gamers can't differentiate between games and the real world, so violent games will result in violent behavior. But anyone who has the cognitive faculties to purchase, set up and operate modern games consoles won't have trouble differentiating between a cartoonish fantasy world and reality.
Paraphrased paragraph:
Dr Vance and his team receive daily reports that video gamers do daily, those reports are about the gamers levels of aggression and violence, and a huge amount of gamers have had a big increase in the level of violence, aggression and anger when they saw an article in a newspap.
Gta 4 article
Grand Theft Auto IV is an open-world action-adventure video game set in a fictionalized version of New York City called Liberty City. The game follows Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Serbia who comes to the U.S. seeking the American Dream. Some critics argue that violent video games like GTA IV can negatively influence young people by desensitizing them to violence or promoting criminal behavior. However, others believe there is little evidence that video games are directly linked to real-world violence. After a GTA player in Thailand was arrested for murder, the game was banned there over concerns about its violent content. Investigations of shooting rampages in the U.S. did not find a clear

The document discusses the history of mainstream media blaming video games for acts of real-world violence. It provides examples of controversial games like Doom and Manhunt that were blamed for incidents but later found to have no causal link. Studies are cited finding no correlation between gaming and aggression, though some politicians deny this. While certain games like Manhunt were highly controversial, there is no evidence they inspired real violence. Overall the document examines the debate around this topic and how video games have unfairly been blamed by media at times despite lack of evidence linking them to violent acts.
Violence in video games
The document discusses the debate around whether violence in video games causes real-world aggression. It notes that while some studies have found short-term correlations, the evidence is inconclusive and many factors like mental health and home life influence violence more.

Comp 2 Research Topic PPT
Gurkirat Dhillon's research paper investigates whether video games contribute to violence in society. Since their introduction in the late 1970s, video games have frequently been blamed for causing acts of violence. As video game graphics have become more realistic, more video games have been blamed for domestic attacks and overall violence. Dhillon aims to determine through research if video games truly harm society or not.
Hynes Keynote: 2017 New York Council on Problem Gambling
Julie Hynes gave a keynote presentation on trends in gaming and their connections to gambling. She discussed how freemium games, daily fantasy sports, and esports have blurred the lines between gaming and gambling. Research shows that youth who play simulated gambling games are more likely to develop gambling problems later. Characteristics of gaming addiction are similar to problem gambling, such as less sensitivity to loss and more impulsivity. While more research is needed on new forms of gambling, kids who play free online games are far more likely to develop gambling issues. The presentation highlighted both the opportunities and concerns around new technologies and gaming trends.

Overall the document examines the debate around this topic and how video games have unfairly been blamed by media at times despite lack of evidence linking them to violent acts.
Violence in video games
The document discusses the debate around whether violence in video games causes real-world aggression. It notes that while some studies have found short-term correlations, the evidence is inconclusive and many factors like mental health and home life influence violence more. Another section debunks common myths, including that video games directly cause youth violence and are desensitizing, noting that most people can separate fantasy from reality and that other real-world issues are stronger predictors of violence.
Comp 2 Research Topic PPT
Gurkirat Dhillon's research paper investigates whether video games contribute to violence in society. Since their introduction in the late 1970s, video games have frequently been blamed for causing acts of violence. As video game graphics have become more realistic, more video games have been blamed for domestic attacks and overall violence. Dhillon aims to determine through research if video games truly harm society or not.
Hynes Keynote: 2017 New York Council on Problem Gambling
Julie Hynes gave a keynote presentation on trends in gaming and their connections to gambling. She discussed how freemium games, daily fantasy sports, and esports have blurred the lines between gaming and gambling. Research shows that youth who play simulated gambling games are more likely to develop gambling problems later. Characteristics of gaming addiction are similar to problem gambling, such as less sensitivity to loss and more impulsivity. While more research is needed on new forms of gambling, kids who play free online games are far more likely to develop gambling issues. The presentation highlighted both the opportunities and concerns around new technologies and gaming trends.
