Outline of Final Research Achievements

The possibility of negative psychological and behavioral effects on adolescents by chronic exposure to violent games (VG) is a growing social concern in many countries including Japan. Leading researchers of VG study explain that habitual VG playing can cause decreased emotional/cognitive responses (desensitization) to violent events even in reality. However, the mechanism of desensitization has not been clearly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to enhance our understanding of the "desensitization" effect by measuring multiple physiological data collected from the central and peripheral nervous system and individuals' trait level of motivational activation. The results revealed that there were significant effects of playing VG beyond the trait level of motivational activation; the major effects found in our study were “sensitization” on the attentional process. Potential influences of chronic exposure to VG are discussed.
