Dave Roskos-Ewoldsen to present video game research

On October 24, Dave Roskos-Ewoldsen will present some of his research on video games to the ATM group. The title of his talk is "Prosocial Behaviors and Violent Video Games." An abstract of his talk is below.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that playing violent video games increases aggressive affect, cognition, and behavior and decreases prosocial behaviors. This talk presents several studies looking at helping behavior during game play, attitudes toward bullying, and cooperative behavior as a consequence game play ­ all in the context of violent video games.
