Ah, thanks very much for that because, as I said, I didn't actually have any source material for that point, I was just basing it on the theory. Interesting that catharsis doesn't apply to video games as much as I thought it would.Geo88 said:The only issue I take with your essay is catharsis. A lot of studies have been done about catharsis and video games, and the consensus is that it doesn't work that way. In fact, most studies I've seen, including a few I looked up for my media effects class in college, indicate that while we play violent games, especially the more immersive ones, your brain is triggered to be more aggressive.
