Hi, CCHL,

If you're looking for how to interpret your results, you could look at an article on APA's website:

Violent Video Games: Myths, Facts, and Unanswered Questions
http://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2003/10/anderson.aspx

Dr. Anderson notes that most teens are affected -- not just teens who might be more inclined to violence -- so you could analyze how he explains this. (It's also a very interesting article!)

Good luck!
