Gaming Behaviours And Social Versus Non-Social Emotion

Western Interdisciplinary Research Building (WIRB)

Video games are more popular than ever, which has led to questions about how frequent gaming affects the way people feel and connect with others. For a small group of gamers, gaming can become a problem that causes stress and interferes with their social lives. In this study, we are interested in whether the amount of time people spend playing video games is related to how they react to emotional videos, both in how they feel and in how their bodies respond.
