Do video games really contribute to violence and women's self-esteem issues?While it’s easy to blame the uptick in video game play for violence and body image insecurity, there’s no research proving that video games are the cause.

There’s no evidence of strong effects of sexism, body image insecurity and violence from video game content. Of course, we should continue to advocate for female representation in games.
Listen as Dr. Chris Ferguson joins Dr. Pamela Peeke to discuss how video games really affect people.
