A new study coming out of Australia reached the conclusion that most kids who play video games do not show signs of increased violence. The study, produced by the Swinburne University of Technology, studied 120 children aged 11 to 15 from 10 different schools around Melbourne, Australia, and monitored their actions 20 minutes before and after playing Quake 2.

The results of the study showed that children who had a predisposition to aggression or neurotic behavior were the ones more likely to show increased aggression after playing violent games. The majority of test subjects, however, showed no change in aggression after playing violent games. Professor Grant Devilly reported in the study's conclusions that, "You've got to basically read your own kid. If you have a quite hyper kid they will come down after playing a bit, but for the rest of kids, the vast majority, it makes no difference at all in their general aggression rate." (Source: geek.com)
