Study: video games desensitize people to violence

Research conducted at the Iowa State University has concluded that violent games can desensitize players to real-life violence. According to Nicholas Carnagey, an ISU psychology instructor who served as a research assistant on the study, "it appears that individuals who play violent video games habituate or 'get used to' all the violence and eventually become physiologically numb to it."
