Research has shown that people who watch a lot of media violence are

A) less likely to engage in risky behavior because they have observed the risks
B) less likely to engage in risky behavior because they have vicariously experienced the consequences as a result of watching TV
C) more likely to engage in risky behavior
D) less likely to engage in risky behavior because of the heightened fear of getting caught

Research has consistently shown a correlation between exposure to media violence and an increase in aggressive behavior and risky behavior. This may be because media violence can desensitize individuals to real-life violence, increase the normalization of violence, or lead individuals to model violent behavior they have seen on screen. Therefore, people who watch a lot of media violence are more likely to engage in risky behavior. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the findings of research on media violence.
