Abstract
Although there is general agreement among researchers that the majority of empirical evidence supports the link between violent media and aggression, there have been few studies that have examined the theoretical underpinnings of the dynamics. This study sought to explore this phenomenon. In general, results show that participants with higher levels of trait irritability display significantly higher levels of aggressive behavior than those with lower levels. Additionally, significant differences were found on measures of cognitive aggression between participants playing violent, aggressive, and non-violent video games.
