Violent TV: Your Mom Was Right

  • Posted by: Andrew Price
  • on December 6, 2007 at 3:10 pm

Check out this new study from Columbia Medical School. It seems to show that watching violent scenes in movies makes you more likely to get aggressive. But look at the example of a violent scene subjects were shown: it’s from The Patriot. We could have told you people would get mad if you made them sit through that one.

We wonder if you’d see the same effects after people looked at some Goya (above) or Francis Bacon. Just sayin’.
