Where can I find some video effects?

Where can I find legitimate reports of the psychological effects of video games?

• I'm writing a report and would love to read more on the topic of video game's effects on human psychology.

  The Scientific American had a recent blog post about this topic out. Check it out here: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2011/12/01/how-a-computer-game-is-reinventing-the-science-of-expertise-video/ Personally, I am more critical of the quality of the evidence and discuss it both in terms of the negative side effects of video games (aggression etc.) and the positive ones (attention etc.).

(2011). Check it out here: http://www.frontiersin.org/cognition/10.3389/fpsyg.2011.00226/abstract Good luck, Richard
