Abstract:

This experiment examined effects of violent video game play and personality on aggressive cognition, affect, arousal, and behavior. Participants completed a measure of personality and approximately 4 weeks later participated in a lab study. In the lab, participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions (first person shooter violent video game, third person shooter violent video game, nonviolent video game, or control), played a video game for 15 minutes in the treatment conditions, and completed measures of aggression. Results indicate that participants who played the third person shooter game reported more negative and aggressive thoughts than did those who played the first person shooter and the nonviolent game, respectively. In contrast, those who played the first person shooter vs. other games engaged in more aggressive behavior. The personality dimensions of conscientiousness, neuroticism, and agreeableness were related to aggression and video game condition interacted with conscientiousness, neuroticism, and intellectualism to predict aggressive outcomes.
