Report: Video Games and Violence Research Results

Eleven participants were asked to take part in the questionnaire. 27% were female and the remaining 73% male. 36% reported playing video games one to five hours per week, compared to 45% playing between six and ten hours per week and finally the remaining 19% playing over 10 hours(Appendix2.1).

When the question was asked for their opinion of whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement that violent video games increase aggressive behaviour, 45% agreed with this claim (Appendix 2.2).

Interestingly, 54% said yes to question 4 when asked if they had any aggressive thoughts or behaviour after playing a video game.

Finally, the results for question five, asking what the participants did after playing violent video games varied in responses. Many responses mentioned eating, resting, watching television and in one case watching adult entertainment.
