Cross sectional studies is the correct answer.
Cross-sectional research is used to examine participants' behaviors of different ages at one point in time. These studies are useful for a variety of reasons: data collection can be proceeded rapidly, the cost is a lot lower than a logitudinal research since there is no need to keep contact and follow-up with participants as time passes, and because of that practice effects are not a problem. On the other hand, the principal limitation of this research is that the results produce information regarding age-related change, instead of development per se.

Back in the 5th century B.C , even Plato worried about the possible effects of violence and that violent themes in plays would have in society. Nowadays, some scholars speculate that some fans of such media may become more aggressive or immoral. Yet, nothing has been proved, and the correlation between violent media and actual violence are still considered inconclusive. <u>Some social scientists who believe in the correspondence of violence and violent media</u>; however, <u>believe that violent media would cause gamers to lose empathy towards the victims displayed in the media and thus more likely to commit acts of violence.</u>
