“Video games and aggressive thoughts, feelings and behavior in the laboratory and in life” (2000)

2. Study 1
Research question: Is there a correlation between the frequency with which subjects play video games and the frequency of aggressive, delinquent behavior?
Results: The more often subjects played video games, the more frequently they exhibited aggressive, delinquent behavior
Limitation: The study does not show causality

3. Study 2 Subjects were placed in one of two groups
G1 played a violent video game
G2 played a non-violent video game
Subjects were placed in a situation and asked to respond to a stimulus faster than the opponent
The winner gets to blast the opponent with a loud noise
The winner determines how loud and how long to blast the opponent

4. Results
G1 subjects blasted the opponent longer and louder than G2s

5. Other Research
Tamborine (2001) found increased levels of hostility in subjects who played an aggressive video game more so than subjects who watched them play the game
