Explanation / Answer

1. This topic corresponds to psychology. There has been an increasing concern in the parents, society as well as teachers,which state that children playing video games for greater periods would be engaging in violent behaviour through imitation of the actionsthat are displayed in the game. This has been studied because a research states that 97% of the children would be preferring violent games over non violent games. This could be attributed to their pre existing disposition to aggressive behaviors. Or, it could also be attributed to the exposure of aggressive acts, making the children inclined to carry out the same.

This had been demonstrated by the bobo doll experiment in which the social learning theory. This theory states that people would be learning through observation, imitation as well as middling. This theory also shows that people would not be learning only through punishments or rewards but also be watching someone committing some acts. This theory is also referred to as observational learning and is thus relevant to psychology.
