Does consuming violent media lead to violent behaviour?

I don't know. But it seems I'm not alone in that - the science on the topic is muddled, with firm convictions and supposed evidence on both sides.

Today, we're going to try to untangle this mess. We'll start by looking at the how we learn behaviours through the powers of observation, then we'll take that knowledge and try to apply it to the topic of violent video games. And then, maybe, we'll find our answer.

Probably.

**Also, I cannot stress enough that this is only a fraction of C. J. Ferguson's output on this topic. Just put his name into Google Scholar. Trust me.
