Abstract:
The results of prior research investigating whether the violence in violent video games leads to increased aggression are mixed. Hence, we aimed to determine if the presence of violent video game content is the only factor causing aggressive behaviors in players. Results revealed that participants became more aggressive only after playing a competitive game, while the level of violence and game difficulty did not have any significant effect.
