BrainLink: No clear link between game violence and real-life violence | Ningún vínculo claro entre la violencia de juegos y la violencia de la vida real

BrainLink: Video Game Violence and Real Life Violence Not as Clearly Linked as Once Thought [Source: Brainlink ]

[20-Jul-2009] Violent video games have been blamed for a variety of problems ranging from school shootings to a decline in moral values–and at first, the link seemed obvious. But many researchers are now saying that the link isn’t clear cut, especially since most teenagers today play violent video games and don’t have behavioral problems. The real challenge is for researchers to figure out how different patterns of play might tell us which children we should be concerned about.

Los videojuegos violentos han sido culpados por una serie de problemas que van desde disparos en las escuelas a un descenso en los valores morales – y en primer lugar, la relación pareció evidente. Sin embargo, muchos investigadores ahora dicen que la relación no es clara, sobre todo porque la mayoría de los adolescentes hoy en día juegan videojuegos violentos y no tienen problemas de comportamiento. El verdadero desafío para los investigadores es averiguar cómo los diferentes patrones de juego podrían decirnos de cuáles niños debemos preocuparnos.

Two things happened at Capcom yesterday. First, the company celebrated the first anniversary of the release of the arcade version of SFIV in Japan. It was also Crimson Viper’s birthday. To celebrate, Capcom released this wallpaper of Viper on a beach with Sakura and Camry fighting in the background. It’s one of the many images you can see and download at the Japanese official SFIV blog. So, how old is Viper now? If you want to know how old she is, well… we won’t know that in the near future, according to a blog translation at andriasang.com.

Para celebrar, Capcom publicó este papel tapiz de Viper en una playa con Sakura y Camry luchando en el fondo. Es una de las muchas imágenes que pueden verse y descargarse del blog japonés oficial de SFIV. Así que, ¿cuántos años tiene Viper ahora? Si quieren saber su edad, bueno… no sabremos eso en un futuro próximo, de acuerdo a una traducción del blog en andriasang.com.
