Call for Special Issue Papers: Effects of Violent Video Games

OPEN IN VIEWER

Controversy over violent video games surfaced in the 1990s. Whether or not violent video games lead to aggressive behavior in real life is still hotly debated. Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking requests article submissions related to the topic of the use of violent video games for a forthcoming special issue exploring this timely and important topic.

This special issue will specifically focus on the major issues surrounding violent video games. We are particularly interested in articles that report objective findings, including:

Biochemical studies

Physiological studies

Brain imaging studies

Multicultural studies

Effects on child and adolescent development

Influence on behavior

Health outcomes, including obesity and musculoskeletal injuries

Additionally, studies with large sample sizes and randomized trials will be given preference.
