"Links between media violence exposure and favourable attitudes toward interpersonal violence are well established, but few studies have examined whether associations extend to include favouable attitudes toward institutional forms of aggression. In this study, undergraduate students aged 18-20 years completed a survey assessing media use (number of hours per week spent playing videogames, watching movies/TV shows, watching TV sports) and attitudes toward interpersonal violence, punitive criminal justice policies, and different types of military activities (preparedness/defense and aggressive intervention)."
