Reading the paper [1], you will find the following comment - "It is unfortunate, especially in the light of recent schoolyard tragedies, that first-person shooters are so popular. Even though studies on the effects of violent media on youth are not conclusive [..], interface designers must proceed with caution when adding potentially aggressive aspects to interfaces. One must take into consideration the age of the expected user base and the possible use of non-aggressive alternatives." It's interesting to see personal antidotes which have been shown to be incorrect to be permitted in papers. Today if the paper was written the text could have been replaced with - "..researchers found that the playing of such games actually had a very slight calming effect on youths with attention deficit symptoms and helped to reduce their aggressive and bullying behavior."
