Short-term Effects
Arousal Processes
Observer aggressive behavior be affected while watching a presentation on mass media in two ways
1. Excitation transfer-example anger provocations due to emotional transfer.
2. General arousal- emotional response such as despair, sadness, discouragements.
Increased overall arousal alternatively accelerated the rate of reaching peak of retaining inappropriate emotional responses due to dominance of the learned responses.

For example mass media violent content arouse emotion that has been miss-attributed or exaggerated as result of provocation transfer due to the judgmental processes executed while the person is aggressive. Such responses are learned and demonstrated in violent mass media presentations for instance direct instrumental aggression. Thus it very possible to corrupt the child behavior conduct due to the provocation transfer to emotions such as anger and possess aggressive responses which he or she apply in day to day life (Anderson et al., 2010).

Young kids has a tendency to emulate and put into practice of what they observe to whomever is dear to them.
The probability is high for the young kid to copy and imitate violent behaviors from the shows and movies they are exposed to.
Neurological processes fill up the gap by providing mirror neuron associated to the behavior the was observed.

Young kids specifically those without the knowledge to discern between the right and the wrong are prone to mimic violent behaviors that make them feel conformable while practicing them without gauging whether the behaviors are ethical and morally right (Huesmann, 2007). The behavior becomes normal in accordance to how often the child is exposed to the violent material on the mass media. According to Eron and his friend they were arrested and prosecuted at an age of 8 years they confessed that the behavior they has inclined to which lead them to this far was mimicry of mas media violent contents targeting the adults (Huesmann, 2007).
