UNDERSTANDING MEDIA VIOLENCE FROM A ROLE-PLAY PERSPECTIVE Effects of Various Types of Violent Video Games on Players Cognitive Aggression
In this study I investigated the effects of depicted character roles and wishful identification with the main character on aggression and game enjoyment among players in violent video games. The results (n = 36)showed that character roles (e.g.,the police,gangster,and athlete) did not have any significant effect on post-game aggression.However,there was a significant association among depicted character roles,wishful identification,and game enjoyment.Implications in terms of the level of aggression,identification with the game character,and game enjoyment are discussed.
