According to a recent study by Social Psychological and Personality Science, playing violent video games can increase aggression that is prolonged by thinking about the game. The study was conducted by Brad Bushman of The Ohio State University and Bryan Gibson of Central Michigan University.  The study finds that, at least for men, thinking about the game can increase the potency of the game’s tendency to lead to aggression long after the gameplay has stopped. In the past, there have been several similar stories, but none had any real evidence to support their claims. This, however, is the first laboratory experiment to show a link between violent videogames and aggression. |
