INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study:

Now a days video games are among the most popular recreational activities of children and
adolescents. Because these contents are often displayed with a very high degree of realism, due to
the fast and constant technological evolution of consoles and personal computers. Violent gaming
is only with those measures of aggression usually implemented in experimental studies. But also
with more serious forms of aggression such as anti-social and delinquent behaviour. It is a big
impact for adolescence because they are at the peak of being curious in every little things in this
world.

The present study shows that the effect of playing violent video games has an immense impact to
the behaviour of a console gamer. It significantly increases level of aggression. According to
(McCormick 2014).

Violent video games players themselves was observed if they’re sensitive or more emotional more
than non-console gamers. The highlight of this was, because over 85% of video games nowadays
contain at least some minor issues or violence and half of video games was indulged to more
serious violent actions according to (Kneifer 2014).

Continuous exposure to violent games may affect an individual less likely to fear or anger and lead
to greater difficulties for them to become sad and disgusted and experience empathy in realm of
reality. Many people nowadays doesn’t know how powerful video games can be. It has a positive
effect and negative effect. But mostly, in this generation, adolescents tend to imitate what they see
in games.

Violence Tolerance –
Theoretical Framework:

It is imperative that we begin by considering the possible expansion of the standard horizon
along which violence is considered. At its most simplistic, base definition, violence is a
rather obvious kinetic display of force, generally targeted toward one individual by another
individual, one group by another group. It is true that even the popular understanding of violence
allows for more broad applications the psychological violence of verbal abuse or bullying, the
harm done to an individual’s self image by ridicule or shame. But even these do not seem to fully
encompass the potentially vast spectrum of precisely what can be called violent according to
(Kleeb 2014).
