The Impact of Competitive Gaming Context on Aggressive Behavior in High School Students: The Positive Role of Cooperative Gaming Context
Findings from this study indicated that competitive contexts within games amplified postgame aggressive behavior among high school students. Notably, cooperative contexts within games were found to alleviate the aggression-enhancing effects of competition. These results present a novel avenue for exploring strategies to mitigate the adverse impacts of online video games on player behavior.
