There were a few results from this experiment. The first being that older children saw more violence through the internet than younger children. It was also found that boys and children from the middle socioeconomic status group played more video games with violent content. It was also reported that traumatic violence was viewed more by older children but had a greater impact on younger children. Boys experienced more indirect violence than girls, but girls were affected by it more. Lastly children from lower socioeconomic classes had experience more traumatic and indirect violence along with physical and verbal abuse. It was calculated that all forms of exposure to violence had a, “positive correlation to ‘Proviolence’ attitudes” (Tarabha, Badr, Usta, & Doyle, 2016, p. 8). When the amount of media was calculated in as a factor, the researchers found that, “the more the child is exposed to violence, the more the ‘Proviolence’ attitudes” (Tarabha, Badr, Usta, & Doyle, 2016, p. 12) occurred and therefore led to increased desensitization in children.
