Exposure to violent video games increases automatic aggressiveness
Abstract
The effects of exposure to violent video games on automatic associations with the self were investigated in a sample of 121 students. Playing the violent video game Doom led participants to associate themselves with aggressive traits and actions on the Implicit Association Test. In addition, self‐reported prior exposure to violent video games predicted automatic aggressive self‐concept, above and beyond self‐reported aggression. Results suggest that playing violent video games can lead to the automatic learning of aggressive self‐views.

“While most video game enthusiasts insist that the games they play have no effect on them, their exposure to scenes of virtual violence may influence them automatically and unintentionally (Bargh & Chartrand, 1999; Greenwald & Banaji, 1995; see also Nisbett & Wilson, 1977; Todorov & Bargh, 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
