Violence in Context: Embracing an Ecological Approach to Violent Media Exposure

Violence in Context: Embracing an Ecological Approach to Violent Media Exposure This commentary expands on Anderson, Bushman, Donnerstein, Hummer, and Warburton's agenda for minimizing the impacts of violent media exposure (VME) on youth aggression. We argue that, in order to effectively intervene in the development of aggression and other maladaptive traits, researchers and policy‐makers should take an ecological, developmental psychopathology approach to understanding children's exposure to VME within developmental, relational, environmental, and cultural contexts. Such a framework holds the most promise for identifying at‐risk groups, establishing targets of intervention, and testing mechanisms of change. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Analyses of Social Issues & Public Policy Wiley

Abstract

This commentary expands on Anderson, Bushman, Donnerstein, Hummer, and Warburton's agenda for minimizing the impacts of violent media exposure (VME) on youth aggression. We argue that, in order to effectively intervene in the development of aggression and other maladaptive traits, researchers and policy‐makers should take an ecological, developmental psychopathology approach to understanding children's exposure to VME within developmental, relational, environmental, and cultural contexts. Such a framework holds the most promise for identifying at‐risk groups, establishing targets of intervention, and testing mechanisms of change.
