- the more time individuals spent watching violent media depictions, the less emotionally responsive they became to violent stimuli & less sympathy for real-world victims of violence - when emotions incompatible with aggression are stimulated, aggression becomes less likely - habitual usage of violent video games was associated with reduced empathy with others in need of help (studies of children 5-12yo)
