These correlations are very strong, stronger than most seen in behavioral research.

(I’m a fellow of the APA.) These groups mainly exist to promote a profession among news media, the public and policymakers, \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/advocacy/index.aspx\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">influencing licensing and insurance laws\u003c/a>. They also make it easier to get grants and newspaper headlines. Psychologists and psychology researchers like myself pay them yearly dues to increase the public profile of psychology. But there is a risk the general public may mistake promotional positions for objective science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005 the APA released its first \u003ca href=\"https://videogames.procon.org/sourcefiles/resolution-on-violence-in-video-games-and-interactive-media.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">policy statement\u003c/a> linking violent video games to aggression. However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160252717301450?via%3Dihub\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">my recent analysis of internal APA documents\u003c/a> with \u003ca href=\"https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=56382474100\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">criminologist Allen Copenhaver\u003c/a> found that the APA ignored inconsistencies and methodological problems in the research data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The APA \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/about/policy/violent-video-games\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">updated\u003c/a> its statement in 2015, but that sparked controversy immediately: More than \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/223284732/Scholar-s-Open-Letter-to-the-APA-Task-Force-On-Violent-Media-Opposing-APA-Policy-Statements-on-Violent-Media\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">230 scholars\u003c/a> wrote to the group asking it to stop releasing policy statements altogether. I and others objected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/apa-video-games-violence-364394\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">perceived conflicts of interest and lack of transparency\u003c/a> tainting the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s bad enough that these statements misrepresent the actual scholarly research and misinform the public. But it’s worse when those falsehoods give advocacy groups like the NRA cover to shift blame for violence onto non-issues like video games. The resulting misunderstanding hinders efforts to address mental illness and other issues, such as the need for gun control, that are actually related to gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is an updated version of \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/stop-blaming-video-games-for-mass-killings-121472\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an article originally published\u003c/a> on Feb. 16, 2018.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11765924/analysis-stop-blaming-video-games-for-mass-killings","authors":["byline_news_11765924"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_6188","news_8"],"tags":["news_21721","news_18939","news_25307","news_5702"],"featImg":"news_11765952","label":"source_news_11765924"},"news_10438943":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10438943","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"10438943","score":null,"sort":[1424534455000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"luring-techies-to-the-theater-in-silicon-valley","title":"Luring Techies to the Theater in Silicon Valley","publishDate":1424534455,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Boomtown | The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Arts organizations in the South Bay have often struggled for survival in a region where people sometimes seem too busy with their jobs for an evening of entertainment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens when San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"http://cltc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">City Lights Theater Company\u003c/a> tries to get techies interested in theater with a play called \"Build,\" by \u003ca href=\"http://www.michaelgolamco.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Golamco\u003c/a>, about two video game designers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/192651878\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always ask myself when we’re choosing plays: Are we speaking to our community?” says Lisa Mallette.

They come here after school to escape the violence and, more important, to develop job skills and participate in the organization's wide array of arts and education programs. One of those programs, an industry-backed pilot called Project A-Game, teaches kids how to make video games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a back room, a handful of kids are squished around computers working on their game, which is called \"Mr. Platformer.\" It sounds and looks like an old Nintendo game. Think Mario Brothers from the '80s, but it wasn't made decades ago. These five kids built it using modern game-making software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morris Jackson is mixing the sounds for \"Mr. Platformer\" — things like the digital chime of a coin being picked up, a laser being shot, and that unmistakable warble of a power-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I signed up because I love video games, always did,” he says, “I have been playing since I was a few months old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't know if it actually qualifies as playing, but Morris Jackson's family used to at least put the controller in his hands and let him push the buttons. Now he's 15 and wants to be a professional DJ. But if that doesn't pan out, he says he might try and do sound design for video games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/133638496&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Platformer' isn't like the realistic shooting games Morris plays at home. It's old school. You have to navigate through 2-D levels and avoid pixelated monsters. It's the kind of game that Glen McKnight, the class instructor, fell in love with 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These kids grew up on games,” he says, “kind of like I did, and that's kind of why I am in the industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKnight works for a small game studio, and he has been hired on here as an instructor to impart his game-building know-how. Video games, he says, could be a bridge to the tech world for these kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's tough for a lot of our parents to realize that games (their kids) are addictively playing every day actually have the potential for a career,” McKnight says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Introducing new career ideas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project A-Game is funded by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theesa.com/newsroom/release_detail.asp?releaseID=213\" target=\"_blank\">a grant\u003c/a> from the California Endowment and the Entertainment Software Association, a trade organization for the gaming industry. The program doesn't place kids directly into tech jobs, but it does expose them to video game career opportunities they have probably never thought about — things like sound engineering and designing game levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darius Reed, for example, didn't sign up because he loves technology. He likes to draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Darius, he's really an artist,” McKnight says. “He had no affinity for the technical stuff, that's not what he was interested in, but he's seen how his characters come alive inside of levels.” \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> Census numbers show that Latinos and African-Americans in the United States hold only between 6 and 7 percent of science and technology jobs. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Reed used Photoshop to draw the game's hero -- a white boxy character with a little top hat and a skinny red tie. “Since we are just going for something simple,” he says, “I just made him look like a mister, you know like somebody who is going to work, like a guy who works in the office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An office job in the tech industry isn't something these kids thought much about before this class. Morris, the aspiring DJ, says he had never even talked with anyone in the tech industry. His instructor, McKnight, is the first person he has ever met with a tech job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers show that Latinos and African-Americans have been consistently underrepresented in science and technology jobs, holding between 6 percent and 7 percent nationally. A San Jose Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_22094415/asian-workers-now-dominate-silicon-valley-tech-jobs\">analysis\u003c/a> confirms a similar percentage for Bay Area tech jobs, even though Latinos and African-Americans account for almost a third of the region's population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>Arturo Arechiga says the goal is to try and find ways to change that percentage.
