  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  14. Wai Yen Tang,

    Do you happen to have a master reference list of all the scientific papers you’ve read that pertain to videogames? Either that or an archive of .pdfs?

    I’ve done some preliminary searches through Google Scholar and, to a lesser extent, PsycInfo. But, if you’ve already got a list, why reinvent the wheel?

    Much appreciated,
    Nate

  16. Great Blog you have there; I really enjoy reading it.

    I’m currently writing my diploma thesis on the link between video games, aggression and implicit self concepts and would like to ask if you could send me the article about the finnish longitudinal study from Wallenius & Punamäki (2008).

    I’d appreciate your help!

  20. question: have you considered publishing any of this under a group like digital game studies? i had a communications professor last year who was into how games interacted with his field, and he published a book alongside them. you might get your stuff out to a wider audience, or something.

  22. Good day. I am writing the Erasmus + project “computer game for moral education”. I need theoretical material about the benefits of moral education during the game. Specifically: I need some research that concludes that simulation games develop the moral values of children. Can you help me out, can you recommend articles with research results?

  23. This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

  24. Hi Professor Wai Yen Tang!
    My name is Lauren Taylor and I am a psychology student at Bridgewater State University. I am writing a paper on the gaming community and gender differences and wanted to include your research from “Sexism in Video Games and the Gaming Community” from 2017. I wanted to ask you directly for a digital version, as the website I found the abstract on was charging for a PDF.
    Much appreciated!

    Lauren Taylor
