Influence of Competition, Cooperation, and Violent Video Games on Prosocial Behavior
This study explores the impact of competition, cooperation, and violent video games on prosocial behavior. The research investigates the relationship between different types of video games and their influence on aggression and bias. Using a 2 by 2 factorial design, voluntary students from MSUM participated in the study, assessing their prosocial behavior scores based on competitiveness, cooperativeness, and violence levels in games. The hypothesis suggests that the non-violent cooperative group would score higher overall.
