this is not the whole truth

true, video games can cause aggression, but only in kids who were already aggressive. meaning, video games will not turn a nice lil boy into a monster. it would more likely make an already aggressive child more-so


PROTIP:
if a correlational study is trying to say it proves cause-and-effect, you should steer clear of it.
for all we know, the average kid who plays video games is of less intelligence than the average person. this may make them for likely to act aggressively in order to obtain what they want, while the people of average intelligence who are less likely to play video games use more peaceful and rational methods to obtain what they want.

from one of your articles:

The work is very preliminary and does not show that violent video games lead to aggressive behavior, Szycik says. If there is a link, "we don't know which comes first, the aggression or the violent game playing."

worse than all of this

none of your studies actually show how strong the correlation was
