Report: Video Games and Violence: Research Methodology

As part of the primary research, a questionniare will be carried out, to investigate whether the general public believe that violent video games increase aggressive behaviour and cognitions. A small sample will be used and the results will be shown to display each participant's response. The use of primary research will be used to test if existing theories and hypothesises are still current and still have ecological validity.

The secondary research as shown in the Literature Review, have come from a variety of sources such as Journals, websites and Textbooks.

Combining both primary and secondary data it enables the report to have both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data can be collected through open-ended questions in the questionnaire. Whereas, quantitative data can be collected by close ended questions and figures already collected from secondary data.
