Introduction

In the Introduction, the final paragraph states, " As work with the weapons effect progressed, researchers also demonstrated the weapons priming effect. This variation refers to even weapon-related words leading to more aggressive behavior in humans." According to Benjamin Jr. & Bushman, the weapons priming effect is, in fact, associated with physically seeing a weapon, in addition to being exposed to violence-related words ^[1]. The literature shows that "weapons effect" and weapons priming effect" may be synonymous. Charlottercrane (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
