Cumulative use of multiplayer online first-person shooter video games and self-reported aggression: A correlational study

This study examined the relationship between the cumulative use of multiplayer online first person shooter (MOFPS) video games and self-reported aggression. Players of the MOFPS video game Return to Castle Wolfenstein (N= 103) reported the cumulative number of hours spent playing, completed a demographics questionnaire, and completed the MMPI-2 ANG content scale.; A Pearson's r correlation was computed The resultant 0.167 correlation is significant at the 0.05 level. This correlation suggests that there is not a significant linear relationship between the cumulative time spent playing Return Castle Wolfenstein and self-reported aggression. Implications for future research are discussed.
