Dr. Tamara Schnepel wrote her dissertation on the Impact of the aggressive actions portrayed on WWE Professional Wrestling on juvenile behavior. The abstract describes the study as an investigation to determine if a significant relationship exists between physical/verbal aggression as viewed on World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and juvenile aggressive behaviors, specifically 6th graders.
