I've been playing games since I was like 5 (and my parent's didn't care too much for age restrictions) and most people who know me would agree I do not have an aggressive bone in my body. Maybe the study is true though and one day I'll just flip and go mad :p

That I think has more to do with people being unhealthily competitive (which I feel causes the aggression) and not so much the fact that it is a videogame.

TL;DR - bring back parents that smack their kids when they throw tantrums at age 4. Problem solved.

It's always the quiet ones...
 
I wonder what the results would be if they were to repeat the study with children whom play sports at that age as well.
