Podcasts about violent video games

Victor Kogan Yasny joined us from Moscow and told us that the military economy was booming but not business. Also, we talked about the strange shift of young American males toward Trump. The main explanation was Rose Dyson's: the profitable business of violent video games, which trains males to kill effectively.

In this episode of we explore the contentious topic of violent video games and movies and their impact on children. We look at the potential risks and offers practical advice for parents. Key Points: Statistics on Violent Media Exposure: 90% of movies, 68% of video games, and 60% of TV shows contain some form of violence. Concerns about increased aggression, desensitization to violence, and emotional distress in children. Research Insights: Mixed findings on the impact of violent media. Younger children and those with pre-existing emotional or behavioral problems may be more vulnerable. Practical Solutions for Parents: Monitor Content: Be aware of what your child is watching or playing. Use content ratings as a guide. Set Limits: Manage screen time and restrict access to violent content. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than one to two hours of screen time per day for children over the age of two. Encourage Alternative Activities: Promote non-violent games and activities that foster creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction. Prosocial Video Games: Games that reward helping and cooperation can increase empathy and decrease aggressive thoughts. Context Matters: Different types of violent content can have varying impacts. Help children understand and process what they see. Catharsis Theory: The idea that violent media can serve as a safe outlet for aggression is not widely supported by research. Resources Mentioned: Huddle Wisdom Courses: “Supporting and Guiding Anxious Kids” – Empathic parenting strategies for emotional and behavioral challenges. “Connecting with Anxious, Sensitive, and Neurodiverse Kids” – Enhancing communication skills, fostering empathy, and managing emotions. Conclusion: Err on the side of caution with violent media, especially for younger children and those with behavioral issues. Monitor content, set limits, and provide alternatives. Every child is different; tailor your approach to your family's needs. Next Episode: The impact of social media on teenage self-esteem. Outro: Thank you for tuning in. Stay informed and engaged with your children's media consumption.

It's June, so that means it's time for the AIPT Movies podcast's “Junesis” series! Where we cover movies based on/revolving around video games! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt are joined by artist and friend Chrissy Kurpeski to discuss Edward Furlong's unfortunate run-in with a fictional video game, 1994's Brainscan!A fantastic concept with mixed results! Excessive milk drinking! A lovable musical motif that works no matter how often it's overused! A very non-slashery slasher with a script from the guy who wrote Se7en! Potentially the most oddly “romantic” portrayal of voyeurism since Body Double! An entertaining cast that includes Edward Furlong being himself, a charmingly-sleepy Frank Langella, and T. Ryder Smith as the confusingly-likable gothic punk harbinger of digital doom, The Trickster! A 90s time capsule that examines the demonization of media, the growing obsession with video games, and the early stages of the internet! A movie that's not only a great double feature pairing with 1986's Trick or Treat, but also seems to suggest that violent video games are merely an escape from the true horrors of being a teenager! In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the newest entry in one of his favorite movie series, Bad Boys: Ride or Die!You can find AIPT Movies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Michael Kasumovic is a professor of evolutionary biology at University of New South Wales, a researcher and an author. The influence of violent video games on human psychology has been contested for years. Does virtual violence translate to real world harm? Should we be worried about our friends and kids who play them? And just what makes these games so compelling? Expect to learn the evolutionary theory of why winners tend to win more and losers tend to lose more, whether video games skills translate to the real world, why status-seeking people are more interested in playing violent video games, whether men can grow beards for protection from punches, why men with high testosterone have superior immune systems, why women who play violent video games have higher self-esteem and much more...

Dr. Craig A. Anderson, a Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts & Sciences at Iowa State University, sits down with Dr. Bob to discuss the impact that violent video games have on children. A must listen conversation for parents, teachers and caregivers. Craig A. Anderson, Ph.D. (Stanford University, 1980) is a Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts & Sciences at Iowa State University, Past-President of the International Society for Research on Aggression, and Editor of the International Society for Research on Aggression journal "Aggressive Behavior." His 270+ publications have received over 61,000 citations. His 40+ years of publishing on aggression and violence is highly related to Dr. Weiss's goal of searching for ways in which world peace could be attained. This is especially true of his General Aggression Model, and of his related work on rapid climate change and violent behavior. Recent publications on these two topics (e.g., Anderson & Bushman, 2018; Miles-Novelo & Anderson, 2022) can be downloaded from: http://www.craiganderson.org/wp-content/uploads/caa/recpub.html  The General Aggression Model (GAM) is a bio-social-cognitive developmental model of human aggression and violence that unites a host of individual difference, social, developmental, biological, and cognitive models of social behavior. The 2002 Annual Review of Psychology article that detailed the General Aggression Model has been cited over 6000 times. GAM has been applied to clinical, social, personality and developmental psychology; pediatrics; criminology; war and climate change, among other fields. In 2017, Dr. Anderson received the Kurt Lewin Award from SPSSI. The corresponding 2018 article updated GAM.  Dr. Anderson's 2022 Oxford University Press monograph with then Ph.D. student (now Assistant Professor) Miles-Novelo presents a broad GAM-inspired model of three ways that rapid global warming increases violence. It summarizes multiple biological, social, sociological, and political factors involved in climate change and violence (including war); it also offers multiple interventions at individual, social, societal, and political levels needed to avert the worst violent consequences of climate change, and thereby contribute to world peace. His earlier empirical and theoretical work on heat and aggressive/violent behavior (e.g., Anderson, 1989); attributional processes and effects (e.g., Anderson & Weiner, 1992); human inference and decision making (e.g., Anderson $ Kellam, 1992); media effects on antisocial and prosocial behavior (e.g., Anderson et al., 2003) contributed greatly to the development of GAM, and to the understanding of direct effects of heat stress on violent behavior. As GAM expanded in scope and clarity, it was used to explore possible effects of global warming as early as 1998 (Anderson & Bushman). The first full integration of GAM and climate change was published by Anderson & DeLisi (2011). As noted earlier, the 2022 Miles-Novelo & Anderson monograph goes well beyond merely demonstrating myriad ways the rapid climate change is increasing violent behavior at multiple levels; it also summarizes social psychological, sociological, and political factors that contribute to this violence enhancing effect and offers science-based interventions that should be taken minimize these harmful effects while increasing world-wide peace and individual security and well-being. In sum, Dr. Anderson's career has made numerous contributions to understanding world violence from a multidisciplinary perspective. He is now using that perspective to address one of humanity's most dangerous existential crises, that of rapid climate change and prospects for world peace or world violence.

Parenting boys thru divorce is...challenging. Hard. Not fun. And also, important and worthy of your best effort. Unfortunately, most people going through divorce are not exactly in peak condition. Divorce and separation is all kinds of stressful, and it's near-impossible to be your best self when so much of your time and energy is focused on survival and figuring out what the &#*(^ happened to your relationship. Start by dialing back some the guilt. Reports that divorce is uniformly terrible for kids -- and especially so for boys -- have been greatly exaggerated, says Patrick Markey, PhD, co-author of F*ck Divorce: A Science-Based Guide to Piecing Yourself Together After Your Life Implodes.  "For most children and adults, divorce is not going to be a thing that defines their lives," he says. "It's part of their lives and it's going to affect them forever, but it's not going to set them on a path of doom." 5 factors affect boys' response to divorce or separation: Financial situation Peer relationships Self-blame The parents' relationships with one another Parents' parenting styles "It's kind of like allergies: for most people, peanut butter is totally fine. But for some people with certain pre-existing conditions, they could have some troubling outcomes." Patrick says. "Divorce is the same way. For most kids, it's not going to be great, but they're going to get through it. But for some children with certain environmental circumstances, they might be more at risk for experiencing some problems." Your efforts to manage your emotions and build and maintain a functional relationship with your co-parent will go a long way to increasing your son's chances of thriving despite divorce. In this episode, Jen, Janet, & Patrick discuss: Parenting boys thru divorce What research says regarding the impact of divorce on kids 5 factors that affect boys' response to divorce Interacting with your ex How to productively communicate with you ex Facilitating boys' connections with their fathers Dads who aren't great role models Helping kids deal with self-blame Teaching kids about healthy relationships Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: F*ck Divorce: A Science-Based Guide to Piecing Yourself Together After Your Life Implodes, by Patrick Markey & Erica Slotter -- Patrick's book Is Shared Parenting Best for Boys After Divorce? -- BuildingBoys blog post Tips for Single Moms Raising Boys - BuildingBoys blog post What About Less-Than-Ideal Role Models? -- BuildingBoys blog post (relevant to conversation at 22:54) Kate & Jon Gosselin Missed this Memo -- BuildingBoys blog post How the War on Violent Video Games is Hurting Your Son -- BuildingBoys blog post featuring an interview with Patrick, about his book, Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Game is Wrong Sponsor Spotlight: Hiya Health HEALTHY children's vitamins — no sugar or “gummy junk” included!

For decades, the video game industry has provided hours of enjoyment for millions of people worldwide. With many competitors wanting a share of the pie, video game companies must constantly innovate to keep competitive. Part of this comes in the form of marketing and selling video games to children. On the surface, this may seem harmless enough. However, notice the number of hours your child spends on the screen. Do they lack sleep, exercise, and socialization? Are they becoming more aggressive? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you're not alone. The video games that our children play are increasingly becoming more addictive and violent. The consequences of these to our young are far-reaching. In this episode, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman shares how the video game industry and the government are turning a blind eye to the effects of violent video games. He talks about why it's problematic to have our children be exposed to these. We also learn how violent video games are connected to sleep deprivation, mass murder, suicide, and more. But not all is lost. Even if we cannot change the industry immediately, we can take control of our family's habits. Lt. Col. Dave shares simple changes we can make to create a big impact, not just in our children's lives but also in our own.

Death Metal and Black Metal music, violent video games, graphic horror movies and even infant onesies decorated with skulls. Society is becoming more and more fixated on death as our world becomes ever more unpredictable and chaotic. Jeffrey Podoshen, a professor of marketing at Franklin and Marshall College, is one of the world's leading scholars on this very topic - death consumption. On this episode of The Human Condition with Lisa Gregory, part one of a three-part series discussing Podoshen's research not only on death consumption but on dark tourism, consumer behavior and materialism, he talks about our growing obsession with the macabre, and why it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

In family rooms across America, millions of children and teenagers are playing video games, such as Call of Duty, Halo, and Grand Theft Auto, roaming violent virtual worlds—with virtual guns in their hands. In what sometimes seems like an increasingly violent world, it's only natural to worry about the effects of all this pixelated gore. But is that concern misplaced?
