Research and the Bible both agree that violence can have negative impacts on mental health and can lead to further aggression.
One study published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence found that there is a strong correlation between exposure to violent media and aggressive behavior in adolescents (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0886260516686697).
Similarly, the Bible warns against the dangers of violence and aggression. Proverbs 16:29 states, “A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good.”
Both sources emphasize the importance of controlling violent impulses and seeking peace. Proverbs 14:29 advises, “He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.”
