Abstract
Many adolescents use the television, internet, computer and video games on a
daily basis. They spend a significant part of their leisure time watching movies and
playing computer games that portray violence. It is believed that repeated exposure
to real-life and to entertainment media violence may alter cognitive, affective, and
behavioral processes, possibly leading to desensitization. The study aimed to identify
the relationship between media violence and social, verbal and physical aggression
among early adolescent students in Port-Said. The subjects of the study comprised of
501 school students (287 were females and 214 were males), their age ranging from
12 to 15 years and recruited randomly from every educational grade at each
randomly selected school, and their teachers of the Arabic subject, their number was
16 teachers. Five tools were utilized to collect the necessary data for this study. The
study revealed that, there was a statistically significant correlation between levels of
physical, verbal and social aggression and violent entertainment media among early
adolescents in Port-Said city. The study recommended that, media awareness classes
should be conducted for adolescents and their parents to become more aware of the
negative impact of violent media as it promotes aggressive attitudes and
desensitization. In-service training program should be applied for parents to become
more involved with their children’s use of media, they should be encouraged to co-
view and discuss movies with their children, and provide more supervision over their
children’s time spent playing computer and video games.
