Objectives: To determine the effect of media violence on aggression based anxiety.
Method: We conducted a meta-analysis of studies where the effect of media violence on aggression and anxiety was seen on control and experimental groups. The effect size in terms of Cohen’s d was identified or calculated for the studies that qualified for final analysis.
Results: A comprehensive search yielded 417 studies; 3 articles met inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis suggests that effect of media violence is positive on aggression based anxiety. The anxiety that stems from the viewing violence in media. Theoretical frameworks like social learning theory also supports the assumptions that exposure to media showing aggression increases the anxiety of people who are exposed. The effect sizes of the included studies are most likely not statistically heterogeneous. A fixed-effects model fits the observed homogeneity in this situation by assuming that all studies are estimating the same underlying population effect.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that exposure to violent media content has been found to have an effect on aggression and anxiety. However, the form of media inflicting such effect is to be studied, also across different populations and age groups. As many of the studies primarily focused on specific populations, such as children and, adolescents, this may limit the generalizability of the findings to broader populations and different cultural contexts.
