TY - GEN A1 - Krahé, Barbara T1 - Violent Media Effects on Aggression: A Commentary from a Cross-Cultural Perspective T2 - Analyses of social issues and public policy N2 - It is argued that, despite differences in cultural norms and practices, the evidence for a link between violent media use and aggression is remarkably consistent across different countries. Along with evidence that different operationalizations of violent media use also converge across countries, these findings strengthen the conclusion that violent media are a risk factor for aggression and validate the psychological explanations for these effects. However, we need comparative studies based on a consistent methodology and a theory-based selection of cultural difference variables to properly examine the potential impact of culture on the association between violent media use and aggression.
