The relationship of violent electronic games with aggressive and helpful behavior among a sample of university students

This study aimed to identify the effect of violent electronic games on aggression on the one hand, and on helping behavior on the other. To achieve its goals, the experimental method was followed, and in the design of the experiment, dimensionality was adopted on the model of two equal groups. The experiment was applied to a sample of students from a university in France (n = 62), half of whom were female, and their ages ranged between 18 and 26 years. The results showed that non-violent electronic game players resorted to aggression (M = 4.11) less, with statistical significance, than individuals who played a violent game (M = 6.00). The results also showed that the sample members who played the violent electronic game showed less interest in those who need help (M=1.13) than those who played the nonviolent electronic game (M=3.63). The study showed that there are no statistically significant differences between males and females in aggression or helping behavior, and that the most important variable in increasing aggression and decreasing helping behavior is playing violent video games. In light of these results, the researchers recommended the need to raise awareness of the dangers of these games and to increase research and studies about them, taking into account the various variables.
