A paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests games that make the player feel stupid also make them aggressive. As coauthor Richard Ryan, a motivational psychologist at the University of Rochester said �When people feel they have no control over the outcome of a game, that leads to aggression,� he explains. �We saw that in our experiments. If you press someone�s competencies, they�ll become more aggressive, and our effects held up whether the games were violent or not.� > Seven studies, using multiple methods to manipulate player competence and a range > of approaches for evaluating aggression, indicated that competence-impeding play > led to higher levels of aggressive feelings, easier access to aggressive thoughts, > and a greater likelihood of enacting aggressive behavior. Results indicated that > player perceived competence was positively related to gaming motivation, a factor > that was, in turn, negatively associated with player aggression. Overall, this pattern > of effects was found to be independent of the presence or absence of violent game > contents. http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/psp/106/3/441/ -- regards ~tdk View this thread at http://squte.com/node/5772
