Answer:
It is a widespread concern that violent video games promote aggression, reduce pro-social behaviour, increase impulsivity and interfere with cognition as well as mood in its players. Previous experimental studies have focussed on short-term effects of violent video gameplay on aggression, yet there are reasons to believe that these effects are mostly the result of priming. In contrast, the present study is the first to investigate the effects of long-term violent video gameplay using a large battery of tests spanning questionnaires, behavioural measures of aggression, sexist attitudes, empathy and interpersonal competencies, impulsivity-related constructs (such as sensation seeking, boredom proneness, risk taking, delay discounting), mental health (depressivity, anxiety) as well as executive control functions, before and after 2 months of gameplay. Our participants played the violent video game Grand Theft Auto V, the non-violent video game The Sims 3 or no game at all for 2 months on a daily basis. No significant changes were observed, neither when comparing the group playing a violent video game to a group playing a non-violent game, nor to a passive control group. Also, no effects were observed between baseline and posttest directly after the intervention, nor between baseline and a follow-up assessment 2 months after the intervention period had ended. The present results thus provide strong evidence against the frequently debated negative effects of playing violent video games in adults and will therefore help to communicate a more realistic scientific perspective on the effects of violent video gaming.

Explanation:
Violent video games promote aggression, sexist attitudes, risk-taking, and
mental health (depression and anxiety). Studies have shown the negative
effects of playing violent video games in adults as well as in teenagers and
children. With numerous violent video games in stores and online, one can
think whether there is a direct link between violent video games and violence.
The question is, are video games with violent content leading to an increase in
violence and crime, especially among the youth? As it is said, what you see,
hear, and read makes permanent changes in your thinking. It has been proved
that the games a person plays, especially as a child, impacts their entire life.
So, if a child starts playing games that show violence, bloodshed he\she
would become violent and short-tempered. It makes people more violent
because it plays with the subconscious mind of an individual. Violent acts
towards enemies in a video game can lead people to act aggressively when
they face an enemy in the real world. Moreover, games are addictive. As they
have levels and to complete these levels, people tend to play it continuously.
This affects the mind and makes them unconsciously violent. Our minds start
strategising according to these video games and these strategies then control
the way we behave in reality
