Violent Behavior from WoW? Just the Opposite

Posted 2nd Apr 2008 02:23 PM by Maticus

Jane Barnett of Middlesex University, has conducted a study of 292 WoW players and found that gamers are more likely to feel tired or calm after playing, as opposed to wound up or ready to hit things.

The group of players, which consisted of males and females aged between 12 and 83 years, completed a questionnaire on anger and personality before and after a two hour session on WoW. The results showed that, depending on personality, there were actually higher levels of relaxation before and after playing the game.
