Based on Bandura’s theory of modeling and imitation, people learn a lot of their behaviors from observing the behavior of others and mimicking their behaviors. Video games often exhibit high amounts of violence and explicit content such as sexual behaviors and murder. The theory of modeling and imitation would argue that juvenile delinquency can be explained by teenagers playing video games and learning and mimicking criminal behaviors such as theft and assault through the video games.
