The adolescents in the two groups, who were in grades 7 and 8 at T1, were matched by gender, age, type of school, and academic achievement. Students in the migrant group reported higher consumption of violent media. At T3, they showed more physical but less relational aggression than their peers of German background. Cross-lagged panel analyses showed parallel associations between media violence use and aggression in both groups: Media violence consumption at T1 and T2 predicted physical aggression at T2 and T3 independent of ethnic background. The reverse path from physical aggression to media violence consumption was nonsignificant. No link was found between media violence use and relational aggression over time.

Positiver Affekt führt oftmals zu einer Weiterbeschäftigung mit dem Medium, negativer Affekt in Form von Frustrationserleben oder Ärgergefühlen kann zum Abbruch des Spielens führen. Während durch gezielte Nutzung eine beabsichtigte Stimmungsregulation erfolgen soll, führt der Konsum vor allem gewalthaltiger Bildschirmspiele aber auch zu unbeabsichtigten Wirkungen auf das Gefühlsleben der Spielerinnen und Spieler. Y1 - 2007 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Möller, Ingrid A1 - Krahé, Barbara T1 - Exposure to violent video games and aggression in German adolescents : a longitudinal analysis N2 - The relationship between exposure to violent electronic games and aggressive cognitions and behavior was examined in a longitudinal study. A total of 295 German adolescents completed the measures of violent video game usage, endorsement of aggressive norms, hostile attribution bias, and physical as well as indirect/relational aggression cross- sectionally, and a subsample of N = 143 was measured again 30 months later. Cross-sectional results at T1 showed a direct relationship between violent game usage and aggressive norms, and an indirect link to hostile attribution bias through aggressive norms. In combination, exposure to game violence, normative beliefs, and hostile attribution bias predicted physical and indirect/relational aggression. Longitudinal analyses using path analysis showed that violence exposure at T1 predicted physical (but not indirect/relational) aggression 30 months later, whereas aggression at T1 was unrelated to later video game use. Exposure to violent games at T1 influenced physical (but not indirect/relational) aggression at T2 via an increase of aggressive norms and hostile attribution bias. The findings are discussed in relation to social-cognitive explanations of long-term effects of media violence on aggression.

This approach examines the assumption that males play violent video games more because they anticipate more enjoyment and less guilt from engaging in virtual violence than females. This may be because males are less empathetic, tend to morally justify physical violence more and have a greater need for sensation and aggression in video game play than females. Results of a path model based on survey data of 444 respondents and using multi-step multiple mediation analyses confirm these assumptions. Taken together, the findings of this study shed further light on the gender gap in violent video game use.

JF - DIGAREC Lectures 2008/09 : Vorträge am Zentrum für Computerspielforschung mit Wissenschaftsforum der Deutschen Gamestage ; Quo Vadis 2008 und 2009 N2 - Die Frage, ob gewalthaltige Bildschirmspiele die Aggressionsbereitschaft der SpielerInnen erhöht, wird in der Öffentlichkeit kontrovers diskutiert. Demgegenüber spricht die vorliegende Forschung mehrheitlich für die Annahme eines aggressionsfördernden Effekts, auch wenn die Größenordnung und praktische Bedeutung der gefundenen Zusammenhänge unterschiedlich beurteilt wird. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt den aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisstand zum Zusammenhang zwischen Gewaltspielkonsum und Aggression dar, präsentiert Ansätze zur Erklärung der Wirkmechanismen von Mediengewalt und stellt zwei eigene Untersuchungen vor, die den Zusammenhang für das Medium der gewalthaltigen Bildschirmspiele im Quer- und Längsschnitt analysieren. N2 - The potential impact of violent electronic games on players’ aggression is a highly controversial issue in public debate. In contrast, scientific research has provided clear evidence that exposure to in-game violence can enhance aggressive cognitions, affect, and behavioral tendencies in players, both temporarily and in the long run, even if there is some disagreement about the strength of the evidence and the practical implications of the findings. The chapter reviews the current state of knowledge about the empirical evidence and theoretical explanations concerning the relationship between exposure to video game violence and aggression. It also presents a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study on the link between usage of violent electronic games and aggression in German adolescents.

For each participant, ratings of prosocial and aggressive behavior were obtained from their class teacher. Media violence exposure was a unique predictor of teacher-rated aggression even when relevant covariates were considered, and it predicted prosocial behavior over and above gender. Path analyses confirmed a direct positive link from media violence usage to teacher-rated aggression for girls and boys, but no direct negative link to prosocial behavior was found. Indirect pathways were identified to higher aggressive and lower prosocial behavior via the acceptance of aggression as normative. Although there were significant gender differences in media violence exposure, aggression, and prosocial behavior, similar path models were identified for boys and girls.

Following a pilot study to sample widely used electronic games varying in violent content, 231 eighth-grade adolescents in Germany reported their use of and attraction to violent electronic games. They also completed measures of hostile attributional style and endorsement of aggressive norms. There were significant gender differences in usage and attraction to violent electronic games, with boys scoring higher than girls. Significant relationships were found between attraction to violent electronic games and the acceptance of norms condoning physical aggression. Violent electronic games were linked indirectly to hostile attributional style through aggressive norms. The findings are discussed with respect to North American research on the aggression-enhancing effect of violent electronic games.
