However, the violent forms of television shows and the decreased censoring of these shows have resulted in an increase in aggressive behavior in children. According to a study conducted, children who spend more time in front of a television are more likely to commit acts of crime and violence toward others (Crane 2013)
Albert Bandura's bobo doll experiment has been cited as being the most influential study relating children to aggressive behaviors after watching a violent act on television. Most supporters state that this experiment is proof that watching too much violence in the media will affect a person's ability to be aggressive and in fact make children more prone to exhibiting violent behaviors (Perry 2013)
This study shows that there is a link between violent media and aggressive behavior. Children learn from modeling and shaping, as Bandura's study demonstrated, so by seeing these violent actions constantly portrayed on television in an acceptable manner, it then becomes tolerable for children to continue on their violent tract (Rappaport 2004)
In addition, psychologists have discovered that male subjects (just after watching pornography) are more likely to express misogynistic attitudes. But as professor Kendall points out, we need to be clear on what those experiments are testing: They are testing the effects of watching pornography in a controlled laboratory setting under the eyes of a researcher (Landsburg, 2006)
While admittedly dependent mostly on anecdotal information, some of it is compelling. In one case, a man who said he had participated in over a hundred pornographic movies testified at the Commission hearings in Los Angeles as follows: "I, myself, have been on a couple of sets where the young ladies have been forced to do even anal sex scenes with a guy which [sic] is rather large and I have seen them crying in pain" (Russell)
S. General unequivocally pronounced video games to be harmful to the moral nature of the country: "Research on violent television and films, video games, and music reveals unequivocal evidence that media violence increases the likelihood of aggressive and violent behavior in both immediate and long-term contexts" (Anderson et al
You're not just watching the characters on screen; you're becoming those characters. Nina Huntemann, Game Over Violent Video Games: Do they Cause Violent Behavior? Disasters such as school shootings in Colorado and in other academic institutions have prompted national and international concern over media that children watch and are involved in and the consequent result in their level of aggression (Ferguson, 2007)

The more realistic the blood color and screams, the more the person was aroused. Accordingly, realism of game is another determining variable (Jeong et al
The Supreme Court, for instance, ruled in June 2010 that the California state government does not have the right to prohibit minors from purchasing graphically violent video games. This was so even though alleged murderer Anders Behring Breivik played violent video games (Horton, 2011)
Even the famous Pavlovian reaction to repeated stimuli has been theorized to have a cognitive basis of expectation at work, moving further away form a behaviorist perspective and into a more cognitive understanding of impulses and reactions (Dakota 2009). From this perspective, aggressive behavior would most often be the cause of learned patterns, however such behaviors can occur in infancy and without any noticeable model for instruction or observation (Anderson & Huesmann 2003)
While there does seem to be a cognitive aspect to aggressive behavior, then, it does not appear to be simply an issue of learned behaviors. Another perspective sees aggression not as something that is cognitively learned, but rather that is shaped, even as early late childhood, by a combination of social pressures and negotiations that establish norms and typify the behavior (Bond 2004)
Parenting style (inflexible or insensitive) may exacerbate children's emotional dysregulation, leading to aggressive outbursts. If parents are provided with better tools for managing their own behavior with respect to their child, they will improve in their ability to manage their child's behavior (Alink et al
As result, numerous studies exist that examine the underlying causes of adolescent aggression and various treatment modalities. In this literature review we will focus on plans and therapies that of been demonstrated to have a significant effect, or treatment outcome, for youth and children displaying aggressive or violent behavior (Dummett, 2010)
In addition, we will endeavor to balance the target groups with respect to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and gender inasmuch as it is possible. This may be complicated by the fact that most children in treatment for disordered aggressive behavior are male (Granic et al
Webster-Stratton (1993) estimates that children with behavioral disorders constitute one-third to one-half of all child and adolescent clinic referrals. Behavioral disorders have a relatively poor long-term prognosis and these problems are transmitted across generations (Kazdin, 1988)
Depending on the particular, specific issue the person is facing, he or she may not be able to "get over" whatever the problem is. The Drive Theories The Drive Theories of Aggression suggest that external conditions are the cause of aggression (Anderson, Buckley, & Carnagey, 2008)

The Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis Among the most famous Drive Theories is the Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis. This states that frustration does not always lead to aggression, and aggression does not always come about because of frustration, but that the two are strongly linked to one another, and often intertwined (Dill & Anderson, 1995)
