And yes, I know that there are some studies that refute these findings......but I think that children are impressionable and are affected by what they see and hear in their environment.

Surely that has to include everything in their environment, parental care, how they react to their peers and many, many other things that can contribute?

There are millions of younger people that have played violent games, watched violent T.V. that aren't violent because of it.
When I was growing up the lads used to play cowboys and Indians, British V the Germans, we died many times every day, but we've grown out of it and I for one in adulthood have never been tempted to kill Indians or Germans.
