My psychology book discussed how video games can make people more aggressive...
"playing violent games increases feelings of hostility and decreases sensitivity to violent images" (160)
However, it also discussed how video games helped men channel their aggressiveness in a socially acceptable way...
"learning to channel aggressive impulses into competitive play among friends, even when such play involves simulated violence, may be an essential part of the social development of adolescent males" (160)
