In the current review this research evidence is critically assessed, and the psychological theory that explains why exposure to violence has detrimental effects for both the short run and long run is elaborated. Finally, the size of the “media violence effect” is compared with some other well known threats to society to estimate how important a threat it should be considered. * ??Other Sections?? * Abstract * Background for the Review * Theoretical Explanations for Media Violence Effects ?? ?? ?? * The Key Empirical Studies Moderators of Media Violence Effects * Mediators of Media Violence Effects * Summary * References One of the notable changes in our social environment in the 20th and 21st centuries has been the saturation of our culture and daily lives by the mass media.

Correspondingly, the recent increase in the use of mobile…
