TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Violence in context: embracing an ecological approach to violent media exposure JO - Analyses of social issues and public policy A1 - Glackin, Erin A1 - Gray, Sarah A. O. SP - 425 EP - 428 VL - 16 IS - 1 N2 - This commentary expands on Anderson, Bushman, Donnerstein, Hummer, and Warburton's agenda for minimizing the impacts of violent media exposure (VME) on youth aggression. We argue that in order to effectively intervene in the development of aggression and other maladaptive traits, researchers and policymakers should take an ecological, developmental psychopathology approach to understanding children's exposure to VME within developmental, relational, environmental, and cultural contexts. Such a framework holds the most promise for identifying at-risk groups, establishing targets of intervention, and testing mechanisms of change.
