 |  Research shows mass shooters are not into video games So much for dress rehearsals for the real thing More than 80 percent of mass shooters did not show an interest in violent video games, according to new research. In fact the research by psychologist Patrick Markey suggests that the world is a safer place because of video game playing. "It seems like something that should make us safer so it's a totally understandable reaction", Markey said. "The problem is just the science, the data, does not back up that they actually have an effect." Dr. Markey’s recent book Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Games Is Wrong, includes several key findings that go in the exact opposite direction of the narrative that violent videogames have anything to do with these tragedies. Contrary to the claims that violent video games are linked to aggressive assaults and homicides, no evidence was found to suggest that this medium was a major or minor contributing cause of violence in the United States. https://fudzilla.com/news/gaming/470...to-video-games |
