Description : This book is written with a critical pen on governmental research conducted in evaluating art and addresses this complex topic from both historical and theoretical perspectives. Dr. Kirsh very skillfully guides the reader through the labyrinth of myth and scientific evidence. This book is essential for anyone who needs a scientifically methodological understanding in the field of the impact of media violence on children in order to be aware of the consequences of media violence. Key features of this research include three stances that cover the entire book: Step one, a critical evaluation of research; step two, the importance of development in evaluation research; and step three, identifying multiple forms of violence (e.g., active violence, sports violence, intense violence, game violence). It also discusses five major theories on media violence with a critical perspective, explaining in this critique the effects of violence in children and young people’s media, violence in places related to children and young people, and other risk factors for aggression (e.g., peers, parents, and personalities).
