Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The third variable could be the shooter's history of being bullied. It is possible that individuals who have been bullied in the past may be more likely to play violent video games as a way to cope with the stress and trauma from their experiences. Therefore, it is not necessarily the violent video games themselves that are causing the school shootings, but rather the combination of a history of bullying and exposure to violent video games.
