Many psychologists wrote books about violence caused by media. Famous ones among them are:
- Dave Grossman: former psychologist of the army who argues that video games can turn kids into "killers". He wrote the books: "On Killing. The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society" and "Stop Teaching our Kids to Kill"
- W. James Potter: professor at the University of California who argues that the media use violence explicitly without judging the consequences. He wrote the book: "The 11 Myths of Media Violence".
