Hey great blog, enjoy the work.
Just wanted to share a video we have added, it is “Gerard Jones on Violent Video Games” where Comic book writer Gerard Jones addresses concerns many parents have about violent video games and their effects on children.

Hope you enjoy it and if you like, share it with your readers. Keep up the great work!
Hey, I stumbled onto your website and have realised it’s just what I’m looking for when I write up my dissertation I’ve just finished testing for. I’m a final year psychology bsc student and my project is on the role of anonymity in the research on aggression and empathy in video game play. please let me know if you’re doing something similar and to share knowledge. cheers
hey
so i’m not sure how you found me or if my class is what you’re talking about in your latest post but I did really appreciate your input. that was very helpful. hopefully you’ll continue although I’m not sure how many of my posts will revolve around video games and that seems to be an interest of yours. thanks again

Thanks for the concern and “witty” critique, but at risk of being rude, I really don’t give an infected rat’s ass about this blog. The only reason I write this blog is out of the necessity to pass this class, so its content is all but irrelevant. I understand you have expertise on the subject and you were giving me helpful critique, but the sad fact is I don’t give a shit. Blogging is not even remotely a passion of mine, and as soon as I am out of this class, I will never blog again. So, at risk of sounding like a “mirror-version of Jack Thompson” as you would call it, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!! WITH EXCLAMATIONS AND EVERYTHING.
Hey,
You’ve got some really great stuff on here, good looking out.
Hello, I noticed that you posted a message with interest about the study that I’m working on (an article on Examiner called “the aggression paradigm”
Since it’s still in progress and I have nothing in terms of results yet, I’ll give you a brief description of what will happen.
There is a lot of literature describing increases in aggression in gamers. In my particular study, I am going to see if it can be attributed to frustration. Thus, what I will do is I will engineer a means of creating failure within the test subjects to see if it causes frustration and an increase in aggression or hostility. The subjects play 2 games: one with high violent content, and one with no violent content. They will play each of these games in 3 stages. 1 for acclimation, 2 on the easiest difficulty, and 3 on the hardest difficulty. The purpose is to see the differences between the violent and nonviolent game on each, using high difficulty as a means of producing failure and frustration in the subjects.
I run http://agamesdesignblog.com and would appreciate it if you could get in touch with me. I’m very interested in finding out more about how I can use Psychology to help understand and make games better and your site has already pointed me to some excellent resources.
hey i am wondering could you please tell me some detailed findings of prysbylskis study on the motivating role of violence in video games??? on the questionare study
I’m looking for publications and articles concerning Facebook, Online Self disclosure and social networking.
Do you have anything to send me?
Thanks a lot
Regards
You can google scholar some publications concerning Facebook, online self-disclosure and social networking. Sciencedirect might be of help I recommend John Suler’s website as a theoretical base. Other than that, I’ve got nothing.
I like what you are doing here, Wai. Please send me an e-mail so we can be in contact.
John
