Many studies write in their conclusions that it is indeed causal effect real-life violence in the long term, not short term aggression, not a correlation. Maybe they're wrong, but hese are peer-reviewed studies and I can't dispute them effecively.

I would like to see these studies that you have found. The other thing to consider is that there are also peer reviewed papers that review previous studies, usually pointing out at the experimental flaws or for this kind of topic, misuse of certain words like violence.

Basically any study by Brad Bushman or Craig Anderson. This would be a good example: here. I don't currently have access to my paper (at a diferrent computer),, so I'll get back to you with more.

The second part of what you said is true and has been duly noted.

Edit: Thanks for the info in the post below.
