Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The possible impact of technological advancement on video games’ effects—particularly in the case of violent games—has often been discussed, but has not been thoroughly explored by empirical research. The present investigation employed a 2 X 2 between-subjects factorial experiment to examine the interplay of technological advancement and violence by exposing participants (N =120) to either a newer or older version of a violent or nonviolent game and measuring these factors’ effects on physiological arousal (measured by skin conductance), sense of presence, and affective and cognitive aggression. The results indicate that technological advancement increased arousal and participants’ sense of presence. Violent game content increased participants’ self-reported hostility after controls were taken into account. However, neither advancement nor violence had statistically significant effects on accessibility of players’ aggressive thoughts. Theoretical and practical implications of findings are discussed, and recommendations are made with regard to future research.
