IMPACT OF VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES ON CHILDREN MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH

Abstract

Children that engage in violent video game play are more likely to grow angry and dangerous as a result of their experiences. It is common to observe an angry emotional shift in their behaviour as well as a drop in academic success. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not playing violent video games has an impact on the behaviour of school-aged youngsters. Using a structured questionnaire, a survey research was conducted among a random sample of 400 teenagers who were recruited by convenient sampling from three selected boys' English medium schools. The findings reveal that when playing violent video games, children become abusive as a result of parental intervention. The majority of the children were able to put aggressive video game acts into practice in real life. Children's emotional and physical health is negatively affected by violent video games. This study analyzes the impact of video games on boy’s behavior and comparison effects of video games on boys and girls still investigable
