READING SELECTION: Violence in the Media – Psychologists Study TV and Video Game Violence for Potential Harmful Effects Excerpt of article from the American Psychological Association.  Complete article located at  http://www.apa.org/research/action/protect.aspx.

The resulting report and a follow-up report in 1982 by the National Institute of Mental Health identified several negative effects of seeing violence on television. With the rise of new gaming technology and online platforms such as Roblox, additional concerns have emerged, including exposure to inappropriate content and potential risks to children’s safety.
