How do video games cause violent behaviour

How do video games cause violent behaviour
It isnt a proven fact video games cause violet behaviour. Just because someone plays video games does not make them violent. We are exposed to many, many, many more example of violence in the media and everyday life than in video games. There have been many, many, MANY research studies into the topic, without proven and conclusive results.

However, the argument is that people actually become involved in violent behavour in the game, which can make them believe than violent behaviour is acceptable. People also believe it can distort a childs perception of death, where they think that 'respawning' is real, and that they can't die.

Another argument is that people can become obsessed with video games, not sleeping much, or eating what their body needs. This itself is a form of selfharm and can lead a person to agressive and violent behaviour.
