In the United States, a country with some 200 million privately owned guns, half of all murders are committed with hand- guns, or that handguns in homes are far more likely to kill household members than intruders. “Guns not only permit violence,” he reported, “they can stimulate it as well. The finger pulls the trigger, but the trigger may also be pulling the finger.”
Sales of sexually explicit magazines (such as Hustler and Playboy) in the 50 states correlated with state rape rates, even after controlling for other factors, such as the percentage of young males in each state.

Do viewers imitate violent models? Examples abound of actual criminals reenact- ing television crimes. In one survey of 208 prison convicts, 9 of 10 admitted learn- ing new criminal tricks by watching crime programs.

Genetically identical twins are noticeably more mutually supportive than fraternal twins.
Consider, first, what happens when people are subtly “primed” with either materialistic or spiritual thoughts. With money on their minds—after unscrambling text that included words such as salary or after seeing a poster with currency on it—people were less helpful to a confused person and less generous when asked to donate to help needy students (Vohs & others, 2006, 2008). With God on their minds—after unscrambling sentences with words such as spirit, divine, God, and sacred—people become much more generous in their donations (Pichon & others, 2007; Shariff & Norenzayan, 2007).
