Abstract
Through a review of the literature, my research project explored whether or not violence in the media causes symptoms of anxiety in children ages 6-12. It is suspected by multiple child psychologists that violence in the media can affect children and cause them to develop symptoms of anxiety. By reviewing case studies as well as scholarly articles and journals I found that there was some evidence to support this premise as well as evidence that did not. The focus of my literature review was children ages 6-12 because they tend to be impressionable and vulnerable to their experiences. Limitations to this study would include articles that reported studies on age groups other than the childhood age group such as young adults and the adolescent, as well as the manifestation of anxiety and definition of violence defined differently by various authors.
