Violent games are often accused of emotionally harm the players. People who play the violence-related game are feared to copy every scene in the game.
But, researchers from Texas A & M International University found if violent games actually have a positive impact on emotional development of players. University studies conducted indicate that violence-themed games can reduce stress and depression levels of a person.
“Violence games can be a place for people to actualize the anger and all the pressures they experienced,” said a researcher at Texas A&M International University Professor Christopher Ferguson.
Researchers conducted a study comparing the effects of groups who play violent themed games such as Hitman: Blood Money or Call of Duty 2 with non-violent games such as Madden 2007. The result shows that the emotions of the group that plays Hitman: Blood Money Call of Duty 2 or more stable, when half the road games, is terminated.
The research which is published in the journal ‘European Psychologist’ involves approximately 103 students, 62 men and 41 women.
