I’m doing a paper for class about whether violent video games incite aggressive behavior, and I was wondering if some of you could take a short survey for me. I’d really appreciate it. I posted it here since this forum gets more traffic than the video game forum.
Thanks.

PS: The wording is kinda weird on a couple questions.
I was going to finish one, but then I had to suddenly type paragraphs. Why didn’t you just make them all multiple choice?
Also, you realize that doing this is like asking a room full of pre-teen girls whether Hilary Duff is the best musician of all time.
They would say no. It’s Justin Bieber.
Did it for kicks, sent to a friend, where do I buy the t-shirt?
Thanks a lot duder! I’ll buy you a t-shirt of your choice. 
Lady GaGa is my favorite band.
Rush? I’m in no hurry.
Prodigy? Is that like Rebecca Black?
Madonna? I’m not italian.
;3
I’ll give this a go after work, kk?
Well, I did it. You can thank me later. 
Fuck that. I’ll thank you now.
Thank you.
Sorry I took a while, I had an assignment due today. But I just finished the survey now. Good luck! 
Done. I’ve actually writeen several papers on this subject. I tend to believe what recent research shows - that violent media is a small percentage of all the factors that would cause a person to turn violent.
Can you link me to some of those reports? That’s actually what I"m trying to prove.
PS, thanks.
I put my two cents in.
Too many questions.
It’s going to be kind of biased as you post it in a games forum and only people who want to will respond.
The questions involving playing violent video games in general over non-violent video games…is there such a thing as a non-violent video game? What I mean is, are you trying to say violence towards the human race as oppossed to goblins, vampires, zombies, aliens, goombas, etc?
I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that didn’t involve killing or hurting some animate object. All the way back to the days of Duck Hunt. Sports games themselves usually involve a lot of roughhousing and aggression. Race car games usually involve crashing into other cars, smahing into them to make them hit a wall, or throwing turtle shells at others.
Maybe 5% of all the games I played didn’t involve any violence, but I’m just pulling that number out of my ass. It’s probably less.
Tetris and shit.
I wish I would have kept them for you. I wrote them close to my join date during my college days. Damn, they seem like yesterday and I’m closing in on being around here for ten years…
I remember I got most of my material from peer reviewed journals where actual studies were published. I wish I could help you more.
I was just dragged to a hippy concert that lasted several hours, in which I was surrounded by idiots…I feel incited to violence now.
DR, start with JSTOR and your uni’s databases?
You have accept 2 things about this survey:
a) the pool of people you’re surveying is unrepresentative of society at large, making it difficult to draw applicable conclusions.
b) a major difficulty with poll is to ask useful questions that don’t lead your surveyed population to an answer of your choice. You can ask people 2 questions that ask the same thing and get completely different responses.
