Theaaaa,  one thing you might want to research is John Stossel's piece on children who watched Barney vs. Power Rangers.  The kids who watched Barney,  and then were allowed to play interactively became petulant,  short-tempered and selfish.  The kids who watched Power Rangers and were allowed to play worked cooperatively and happily,  forming a "team" of kids against imaginary enemies they worked to defeat.

Very enlightening on aggression for "good" programming vs. hopelessly sappy Barney.

Best wishes with your research.

As far as violence what type are you referring to. Like scary movies, family guy, simpsons, that type. Or letting your kids play with toy guns, swords ext..... Or witnessing or going thru violence as a child by a parent or loved one. I some examples and info on some of these just send me a message thru inbox or a note
