Research focuses on the causes and consequences of human aggression. His research has challenged several societal myths (e.g., violent media have a trivial effect on aggression, venting anger reduces aggression, violent people suffer from low self-esteem, violences and sex on TV sell products, warning labels on TV programs reduce audience size). He is also interested in meta-analysis--a quantitative approach to reviewing the scientific literature.
