The Influence of Competitive and Cooperative Group Game Play on State Hostility
Eastin, Matthew S.
Human Communication Research, v33 n4 p450-466 Oct 2007
Most research on violent video game play suggests a positive relationship with aggression-related outcomes. Expanding this research, the current study examines the impact group size, game motivation, in-game behavior, and verbal aggression have on postgame play hostility. Consistent with previous research, group size and verbal aggression both displayed a significant positive relationship with hostility. From these results, avenues for future research on anti- and prosocial outcomes from group gaming are offered.
