"The Effect of Video Game Violence on Physiological Desensitization to Real-Life Violence"
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
Available online.
"Past research shows that violent video game exposure increases aggressive thoughts, angry feelings, physiological arousal, aggressive behaviors, and decreases helpful behaviors. However, no research has experimentally examined violent video game effects on physiological desensitization, defined as showing less physiological arousal to violence in the real world after exposure to video game violence in the virtual world. This experiment attempts to fill this gap."
