Right, like most of us, we all too lazy to watch a 6 minute video ON something we LOVE..

so here i summarized it in my own words:

1. The so called journals published are misinformed, to paraphrase Ms Winnee, she said that we must not always believe media reported findings and results, instead look for how they ran their research, what they did then find out their conclusion, in other words, read up the ORIGINAL journal.
2. The people in the video said that journals claiming videogames do promote aggression often find psych undergrads to be their participants, with extra credit (just like ours) as reward. Now they let them play some aggressive videogames, then ask them to shoot some balloons, just because the participants shoots longer than control group, then they say its promoting aggressions.
3. But its true, huh? Oh, i mean, short term wise we do get aggressive, don't we? we watch some cool matrix kinda shows, then we come out saying we wanna slow mo whack people, same concept. After awhile, it wears off.
4. There are two extremes to this research in the video, one is boys who play 15 hours of violent videogames per day will have agrression level elevated, and the other extreme is those who do not play at all! ha!
5. Those who play videogames often like parents to join in and share the fun, promoting good values =)

Yup, thats the summary i got, but do watch the 6 minute video, interesting, got one or two facts i probably missed out.

Well, now that gamings are somewhat not as what it seems relating to aggression. =)
Sometimes its fun to be a researcher.

Edit: One more fact i missed out was that the research in the video was financed by the US Department of Justice, about Million dollars or more =)
