Abstract | Background: The potential impact of violent media on children's emotional well-being has been a source of controversy for several decades. To date evidence for a negative impact of violent media on emotional well-being has been mixed and increasingly connected to a "replication crisis" throughout psychological science. Objective: The current study examines concurrent and prospective relationships between violent media use and symptoms of depression and anxiety in a sample of 536 mostly Hispanic youth (309 males, age range 10-14). Methods: Youth and parents were surveyed regarding social environment, media use and mental health. 302 youth responded to a 1-year follow-up. Results: Results indicated that neither violent television use nor violent video game use predicted anxiety or depression concurrently or depression prospectively with this sample. Conclusions: The impact of media violence use on child mood symptoms appears to be minimal. Further research may wish to focus on particular at-risk groups. (As Provided). |
