4 Corners
Step 1: Overview Read this summary of research compiled by the APA (American Psychological Association) on Violence and the Media. As you read, create a T-Chart. On one side, list evidence for the view that yes, there IS a link between watching/playing violent media and increased aggressive behavior. On the other side, list evidence for the view that no, there IS NOT a link between watching/playing violent media and increased aggressive behavior.
