Sažetak

Today’s extensive media consumption, especially by children, is presupposed.
Children consume media of audiovisual characteristics, such as television programming
or computer games—media that oftentimes distinguish themselves with acts of
violence.
In our daily lives, we see spectacular images of real violence. This every-day
reality contributes to the discussion of the connections between media and violence.
Oftentimes, media violence seems to be the main, quick “common sense’’ explanation
for today’s violent acts.
On the basis of existing fi ndings, there is scientifi c agreement that media
violence can have negative effects, especially in stabilizing the violent structure of
personalities when determined marginal circumstances are present.
The thesis of this paper, however, is that existing studies’ correlations showing
the connections between violence and the media are very weak.
