A recent study delved into the ties between violence and video games in a unique way. Instead of exploring if video games cause violence, the focus was on whether psychopaths display more aggression in video games.
According to the study, individuals with pronounced psychopathic traits and those convicted of murder showed significantly heightened aggression in the video game environment compared to other criminals. This highlights that the game itself isn’t causing violence but is creating a simulated space that elicits real-world characteristics – shedding light on the potential for therapeutic interventions.
