The Relationship Between Aggressive Behavior and The Time Spent Playing Video Games

The relationship between aggressive behavior and the time spent
playing video games

Chapter I – The Problem and its Background
I - Introduction
Our world as we know it has always been prone to change. That includes us, the
people who live in it. And as the world change, we adapt to it. We teach ourselves to
work with it but that did not stop us from also changing the forms of our entertainment.
Not only since the mid 1970’s when the invention of the modern computers became an
international uproar. The invention of the computer awakened the mind of people
especially of the entertainment industry. It led to the invention of various helpful
technological things but one notable invention is that the invention of video games. Not
to be confused with the first video game Pong; first invented in the early 1970’s, where
in it is only available to be played in the arcade. In this particular research, the
researchers focused on a particular type of video games. The type where in it is
available to be played in various consoles that makes it more accessible than others.
The very first video game available in console was invented not long after the first video
game for arcades was invented. After only a few months, the very first video game was
invented. The video game was named “Brown Box” produced by an engineer named
Ralph Baer along with his then coworkers Bill Harrison and Bill Rusch. They have first
started creating prototypes between 1967 and 1969 only for it to be released in 1972
through the company Magnavox. After the company Magnavox paved a way, not only
video games but also video game consoles came through the spotlight making video

games and video game consoles a mainstream type of entertainment throughout
the years making it popular especially among the youth.
But not long after the increase in popularity of video games, arises problems.
Video games are now being accused as the reason behind the increase of behavioral
aggressiveness among the youth. Behavioral aggressiveness according to the site
healthline.com, written by Amber Erickson Gabbey and Tim Jewell, medically reviewed
by Timothy J. Legg, Ph.D., is an unusual behavior that may cause physical and
emotional harm towards other people through verbal or physical abuse. People with this
condition may experience occasional outburst of aggressiveness that may possibly lead
breakdowns, they might also feel irritable and restless that may lead them to be easily
aggressive. The researchers understands that behavioral aggressiveness is not a
simple matter that can be taken lightly, rather, the researchers used this as an
opportunity to conduct a research paper about the most controversial topic on whether
video games causes violence or it does not. The researcher also added a personal
question out of curiousness and that is whether the amount of time playing video games
affects the level of behavioral aggressiveness of the youth especially amongst the
students.

Chapter II – Background
In the previous pages, it is stated that the video game industry begun during the
mid-1970’s where in the company Magnavox released the very first video game known
as “Brown Box” and since then the video game industry has been flourishing until the
present(2019). As of now, the video game industry are facing backlash especially from
the older generations. The video games are being accused as the root of the increased
behavioral aggressiveness amongst the youth. Most accusers are from the generation
of baby boomers (1946-1964) and generation x (1965-1976), the younger generations
believe that these elder generations only blame video games for the ongoing violence
due to them not fully experiencing it. The researcher presumed that the younger
generations do have a point and concluded that they do have an acceptable argument.
But considering the argument of the elderlies, video games as we know it can be
violent. There is no secret to it and even the video game industry does not deny this.
Knowing that there are possible violent elements, it is not unexpected that there will be
accusations that video games cause violence as well as behavioral aggressiveness.
Considering that both parties have valid arguments, this sparked an interest among the
researchers that led them into conducting a deeper study for the said topic, the
researchers aim to educate not only themselves but also the possible audiences that
this research will have. The researchers have decided to handle the topic that involves
the possible effects of video game towards the youth especially students through the
amount of time they spend playing video games and how it can affect their behavioral

playing video games
aggressiveness in which the researchers will be using a test approved by medical
officials.
2.1 – Theoretical Framework
The research focuses on how video games and the amount of time spent playing
affects the behavioral aggressiveness of the students. This is a fairly old topic but has
been opened up again due to the variety of video games and video game consoles that
are being produced nowadays. As early as the 2000’s, video games have always been
a topic for discussion among parents and on how it can be a possible cause for their
children to be violent and aggressive. In recent researches, there has been a variety of
opinions on whether video games actually cause violence and behavioral
aggressiveness. In recent studies, a professor of media from the University of Las
Vegas named Benjamin Burroughs stated that there are studies that showed an
increase on violent thoughts but only for a short term. Some studies from 2006
according to https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/is-there-a-link-between-video-
games-and-violence-/5031446.html, mentioned that there was a small study conducted
by researchers from Indiana University. It was stated that teenagers who played video
games displayed higher levels of emotional arousal that is most likely to be fear or
anger. Aside from the mentioned researches, there is a particular theory from Craig A.
Anderson Ph.D. that can be found on
https://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2003/10/anderson this theory has caught the

playing video games
researcher’s attention. It states that in the recent years, there has been a considerable
progress on the study of human aggression. It also mentions how media violence, that
can also include video games, can affect the aggressiveness of a person be it in a short
or long term way. By pursuing this theory, the researchers are then set to explore this
study that they will mainly focus on how this aggressiveness effect from media violence,
that can also come from video games, affect the students not only in their school but
also in a long term way.
2.2 – Literature Review
2.2.1 – Local Review
According to Limos, M.A (2019) during the reign of the late president Ferdinand
E. Marcos, video games were banned by him due to the stigma that states that video
game mostly causes violence. Limos’ article also confirmed that the World Health
Organization has officially added video game addiction as a diagnosable disorder.
Furthermore, the article also mentions the small percentage of people who were
diagnosed with video game disorder that also adds more bad reputation or stigma
towards video games.
According to Castillo, R. (2016) there is significant studies that show how video
games affect a child’s brain in a negative manner. Castillo’s article is mostly focused on
the negative effects of a video game. The article pointed out that video games cause
unfavorable effects in a child’s verbal memory, attention sleep, learning and
comprehension. Even though there are studies that show that video games can also

playing video games
cause a positive effect on children, the article insists that it is undeniable that the
negative effects of playing video games and is a possible nuisance in a long term run.
On a positive note, an article by Benigno, K. (2014) reassured people that
contrary to popular beliefs and stigmas, video games has a bundle of positive effects
that it can give to it’s users. A proven scientific study by Granic, I. (2014) and her
research titled “The benefits of Playing Video Games”, states that video games does
indeed strengthen a child’s cognitive skills such as spatial navigation, reasoning,
memory, perception and many more.
2.2.2 – Foreign Review
According to Hirsch, l. (2018) video games can only affect the child’s behavior
only if their play exceeds the amount of time a child should be spending playing video
games. Usually, the cause of the child’s excessive gaming is due to the parent’s
carelessness. Parents that lacks in giving attention and care to their child ends up
having children with video game addiction disorder that is usually gets past the parent’s
eyes and is masked as being violent, lazy or unproductive.
Studies provided by Maldonado, M. (2018) states that there are existing debates
on whether the violence that appears on video game can translate into reality, in a way
that the person that plays video game shows attitude or action that is similar to the
video game that they play that can possibly be a violent one. It is common knowledge
that parents only wants what is best for their children. That is why the debate on video

playing video games
games causing violence will always be a heated topic especially among parents.
Maldonado also mentioned studies conducted by a group of researchers from University
of Rochester, N.Y that focused on the psychological effects of video games. The study
pointed out that the experiences of the person playing video games are more significant
than the actual content of the game. The results of the said studies concluded that the
amount of aggression associated with gaming is somewhat connected to the impeded
psychological need for competence.
2.3 – Statement of the Problem
1. What kind of behavioral aggressiveness is common among the senior high
school students?
2. What is the minimum amount of time spent playing video games that has still
caused behavioral aggressiveness?
3. Are the male students more aggressive than the opposite sex?
4. Is there a certain type of games that is the major contributor to the behavioral
aggressiveness of the students?
5. Does their behavioral aggressiveness lean more on physical aggression or
emotional aggression?
6. What is the maximum amount of time these students have spent playing to
change their behavior drastically?

playing video games
2.4 – Hypothesis
1. The students are expected to be more prone to behavioral aggressiveness if
the amount of time they spent playing video games is more than 10 hours.
2. Students whom only spent a minimum of five hours playing video games are
expected to be less aggressive.
3. The kind of video games that can actually affect the student’s behavior are the
ones that are already labeled as violent even by the game producers and gamers
themselves.
4. The researchers hypothesizes that video games does not affect the student’s
behavior and daily lives as much as the expected effect.
5. The amount of time spent during playing video games contributes significantly
towards the effects of it on the behavioral aggressiveness of students.

Chapter III – Research Method
3.1 – Research Design
The study that is to be conducted will be in a form of qualitative correlational
design where in the researchers are set to focus on connecting the relationship between
the amount of time spent playing video games and the behavioral aggressiveness levels
of a student.
3.2 – Research Locale
The participants that will be included in this research are based from San
Fernando, Pampanga. The researchers chose this locale due to the benefits it can offer
that can have a significant effect on the study.
3.3 – Research instrument
In this study, the researcher will be using 2 kinds of instrument. First is the
questionnaire that may consist of question related on whether the student answering
plays games and such. Second, the researchers will be behavioral aggressiveness test
to evaluate the type and level of aggression of the students. The aggressive test we will
be using is the Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire.

playing video games
3.4 – Data Collection
Datas will primarily be collected through 30 possible participants. The said data
will be collected through an interview conducted by the researchers. Secondary
information will be collected through the two mentioned instrument that the researchers
will be using. The questionnaire will help on deciding whether the said participants are
player and then the behavioral aggressiveness test can decipher their place and level
on the scale given by the aggression questionnaire.
3.5 – Data Analysis
The data gathered using questionnaires will be analyzed using analytical thinking
of each individual researcher that will be then compiled and presented. The data
gathered through the aggression test will be analyzed through the help of the given
result of their test.
3.6 - Population and Sampling
We will be considering 30 participants from the grade 12 students of Our Lady of
Fatima University. Age, gender and strand will be disregard and all participants will be
completely random.

Chapter V
5.0 – Discussion
As most of us know the video game industry are booming these days as most of
their customers are a variety of generation, gender and social standing but we also
know that a number of people are against it.
This is what the researchers wanted to deal with. To handle and educate the
people who are ignorant about the effects of video games but in this research, the
researchers mostly focused on whether video games has an effect towards the
aggressive behavior of its respondents, specifically grade 12 senior high school
students of Our Lady of Fatima University.
What the researchers have conclude from the gathered outcomes that they have
is that from Limos, M.A (2019)’s article is that even though the world health organization
has already declared that video game addiction disorder is officially a diagnosable
disorder, most of the respondents that the researchers have surveyed mostly played for
fun and also out of boredom.
From Castillo, R.(2016)’s article it states that an extended period of time playing
video games might cause negative effects towards the player’s brain. The researcher’
Aggression test outcome can testify that it can always depend on the person as the
results revealed that the physical aggression, verbal aggression, hostility and anger of a
person that spends less than 9 hours of playing is higher than those who spend 10
hours and more.
Despite Hirsch, I(2018)’s statement that only extend periods of time can affect
the gamer’s brain in a negative way, the researcher’s test outcomes disagree as most of
the players that play less than 9 hours are more aggressive than those who spend 10 or
more hours.
According to Maldonado, M. (2018)’s research, the type of video game that the
player plays might affect the understanding of it’s player as they might translate it to
reality. But the researcher’s test outcomes shows that even the most basic game can
cause physical and verbal aggression as well as hostility and anger,

5.1 – Conclusion
Based on the two tests that the researchers provided, here are what they have
concluded as outcome of their research.
 The respondents were composed of 18 male respondents and 12 female

respondents under the strands HUMSS, ABM and dominated by STEM. The
GAS strand could not unfortunately join the survey as the researchers could not
find an acquaintance that is known to play video games.
 The number of hours spent playing video games does an insignificant

effect towards most of the respondents’ behavior.
 The outcomes of the Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire revealed that

despite being exposed to video games in long periods of time did not affect the
behavioral aggression of the respondents.
 The male and female respondents that spent more than 10 hours playing
video games did not show unusual behavioral aggression than their counter parts
that only plays 9 hours or less.
 The researchers concluded that since most of their respondent were in the
age of 17 years old, their understanding and maturity are also in higher levels
that might have resulted in them not taking seriously the games.
 Most of the respondent’s responses towards whether or not video games

cause violence or have a negative effect towards the behavior of the players are
along the lines of “it depends on the person.”

6.0 – Recommendations
This is based on the researcher’s experiences during the process of completing

this research.
6.1 – for students
As students and future leaders of this world, we must extend our patience
especially when trying to understand certain matters that we don’t have firsthand
experience with. Just like the researchers’ topic, the target respondents were one of the
most generalized groups of people on our current generation. That is why empathy and
patience are one of the values that we need to have in ourselves these days.
6.2 – for future researchers
Many obstacles were faced during the researchers’ time conducting the
research. That is why the researchers’ advice is that to make sure that you future
researchers have enough time to conduct the said research. Also, one of the slumps
that the researchers’ experienced is being held back by their own selves. In conclusion,
future researchers must have the will power to do so in order to have a reliable outcome
that may contribute and help other future researchers.
