Περίληψη: In the wake of current events, the question arises as to the possible psychological and biological consequences of playing violent video games. This area of research has grown enormously in recent decades, with several hundred publications examining a total of over 100,000 study participants. Various meta-analyses in recent years have repeatedly demonstrated a statistically significant aggression-promoting effect of playing violent video games. Nevertheless, controversies continue to arise in this field. Studies on possible biologically measurable changes in the brain have produced mixed results. The following review article provides a brief overview of the current state of this research area. The discussion addresses methodological difficulties, further open questions, hypotheses regarding the nature of the aggression-promoting effect, sociopolitical aspects, and possible conclusions.

Local Abstract: [Publisher, German] Im Zuge aktueller Ereignisse erhebt sich die Frage, welche möglichen psychologischen und biologischen Folgen das Spielen gewalttätiger Videospiele haben kann. In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist dieser Forschungsbereich zu dieser Frage enorm gewachsen, mit mehreren Hundert Publikationen, die insgesamt über 100.000 Studienteilnehmer untersuchten. Verschiedene Meta-Analysen der letzten Jahre wiesen wiederholt eine statistisch signifikante aggressionsfördernde Wirkung des Spielens gewalttätiger Videospiele nach. Trotzdem kommt es immer wieder zu Kontroversen in diesem Feld. Studien zu möglichen biologisch messbaren Veränderungen im Gehirn ergaben gemischte Resultate. Der folgende Übersichtsartikel soll einen kurzen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand dieses Forschungsbereiches geben. In der Diskussion wird auf methodische Schwierigkeiten, weitere offene Fragen, Hypothesen zur Art des aggressionsfördernden Effekts, gesellschaftspolitische Aspekte und mögliche Schlussfolgerungen eingegangen.
