About

The term aggressor effect basically states that when one consumes more violent media, then they will become more aggressive. Aggressor Effect is also known as the victim effect, the bystander effect, and the appetite effect.

Violent Media Quote

Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised. —Marilyn Manson (1999), “I Don’t Like the Media but the Media Likes Me”

Scientific Data

Over 5 decades of scientific data and about 300 studies of at least 50,000 subjects show that the aggressor effect is real. Experimental studies expose subjects to approximately 15 to 30 minutes and immediately after, the subjects act out aggressively. Studies have also shown that children exposed to violent media will have more aggressive behavior in their later years, but typically begins to show signs at ages 7-11.

Studies have also showed that females are more likely to be affected by the victim effect, while ales are typically more affected by the aggressor effect.

-== Preview ==
-It's a good idea to use the "'''Show preview'''" button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to tracking changes because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving, then having to do ''another'' edit just to make one or more minor corrections.
