Question 11 of 12

1

Tick what Anderson and Dill (2000) have studied and found.

Select one or more of the following:

  • Their aim was to see if violent video games increased levels of aggression, where as non-violent video games don't.

  • They used questionnaires to measure the aggression levels of participants after playing the video games. They used 2 categories to distinguish levels of aggression: Aggression and Non-Aggression. The results of participants are then determined as = Aggression score - Non-aggression score. All of the aggression scores of all participants are then measured on average.

  • A competitive reaction time test was used after participants played a non-violent or violent video game to measure levels of aggression, where participants punish an opponent through a noise. They can adjust the volume and length of the noise, which is what researchers use as a basis to measure levels of aggression.

  • The independent variable was the video game played (Violent video game: Wolfenstein 3D and non-violent video game: Myst,) and the dependent variable was the aggression levels measured from competitive reaction time tests.

  • The independent variable was the video game played (Violent video game: Wolfenstein 3D and non-violent video game: Myst,) and the dependent variable was the aggression levels measured from questionnaires.

  • Anderson and Dill concluded that violent video games encouraged aggressive behaviour and competitiveness thus potentially creating permenantly aggressive thought patterns due to the easy accessibility of violent video games. This is because levels of aggression in competitive reaction time tests where participants played a violent video game are higher than the ones who have played a non-violent video game.

  • Anderson and Dill concluded that aggression levels between both groups who played a violent video game or a non-violent video game are roughly the same on average.

  • Their aim was to see if video games encouraged levels of aggression to increase regardless of the type of video game.
