Read what I said. Kids that were PRONE TO VIOLENCE acted in more violent horse-play after playing violent video games. These are kids with self-control and acting out issues. The key point that in kids that were NOT PRONE TO VIOLENT PLAY (basically, normal kids) did NOT show any more violent horse-play after playing violent video games or watching violence on TV. The conclusion was that normal kids were not negatively affected. The games didn't make non-violent kids violent.
