Playing violent video games not only increases aggression but also to over eating
 studies. found that teens who played violent video games ate more chocolate

The effects were strongest in teens who scored high on a measure of moral disengagement - the ability to convince yourself that ethical standards don't apply to you in a particular situation, researchers said. 

The results suggest that the risks posed by violent video games goes beyond the well-studied impacts on aggression .when people play violent games ,they eat more and cheat . research was conducted in teenagers from 13 to 19 years
They played either a violent video game  or a nonviolent game for 35 minutes, after practising for 10 minutes. 

During the experiment, a bowl containing 100 grammes of chocolate candy was placed next to the computer. and they were free to eat it without any restriction but warned its unhealthy for body .Those who played the violent games ate more than three times as much candy as did the other teens

After playing the game, the teens were asked to solve a 10-item logic test in which they would win one raffle ticket for each question they got right and this can be used to win many surprises

The teens were told how many answers they got correct and had the opportunity to take the appropriate number of raffle tickets out of an envelope containing many tickets while not being watched. 

Results showed that teens who played a violent game cheated more than did those who played a nonviolent games . in a number of studies that those who play violent games act more aggressively
