The present approach examines the assumption that males play violent video games more, because they anticipate more enjoyment and less guilt from engaging in virtual violence than females.

Crucial questions— concerning how much mediation actually takes place, what kinds of disputes are mediated, who seeks mediation, and how successful it is—have gone unanswered for lack of data. This article addresses these issues using original surveys from...
