ABSTRACT

The perception of violence is determined by a large number of variables that may be contextual or cognitive. Video games are a contextual stimulus that is ever-present in those children that develop in an urban context. This study sought to determine if the daily use of video games had an effect in the perception of violence of the children from the city of Cuernavaca. A sample of 202 secondary school children from the municipality of Cuernavaca was studied through a brief questionnaire. Statistical analyses found that perception of violence is a complex construct that is determined by the different settings one may be embedded in. There is a relationship between those settings that may allow constructing a model. Additionally, it was found that the use of video games by children does not affect the perceptions of violence they may construct from their surroundings.
