American Psychological Association Task Force on Violent Media

The American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on Violent Media is a group of experts that studies how exposure to violent media—like video games, movies, and TV—might influence aggressive behavior. Their goal is to understand whether violent content can lead to real-world violence or anger. They review existing research, consider different viewpoints, and provide evidence-based conclusions. The task force aims to inform policymakers, educators, and the public about the potential psychological impacts of consuming violent media, promoting informed decisions and promoting safety and well-being.
