Remember those meta-analyses we discussed about the impact of violent video games on behavior? There's an article on this topic (citing those studies) in the most recent issue of the APA Monitor. You can link to it here:
http://www.apa.org/monitor/2010/12/virtual-violence.aspx
It highlights the debate around this issue, and the upcoming Supreme Court case. Apparently the focus of the Supreme Court case is whether M-rated video games should be sold to minors. The APA apparently decided not to file a brief supporting one side or the other. Looks like their opinion is that more research is needed.
I just thought it was neat that some articles we discussed in class showed up in the Monitor!
