Ferguson, Christopher J., and John Kilburn. "Much Ado About Nothing: The Misestimation and Overinterpretation of Violent Video Game Effects in Eastern and Western Nations: Comment on Anderson et al. (2010)." Psychological Bulletin 136.2 (2010): 174-178. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 8 Nov. 2010. This article discusses how bias from the public and politics is making getting a solid scientific study done. The article also talks about how lack of a consistent measurement on what scale violence is rated allows the studies to show skewed results. The main premise of this article is that violent video games have almost no effect and have been blow out of proportion by bias and a lack of a consistent measurement on what scale violence is rated. This article is unique that it comes from a psychological bulletin and while he tells his point he is always comparing it to another groups study. This article is against my main thesis but has many good points rooted in good, scientific method.
