Violent Videogames Reduce Hostility, Says Study

The study, conducted by Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson, gave 103 young adults a frustrating task to perform. Afterwards, they would be randomly selected to play no game, a non-violent game, a violent game as a hero, or a violent game as a villain. “The results suggest that violent games reduce depression and hostile feelings in players through mood management,” said Dr. Ferguson.
