Previous research has suggested that exposure to violent video games correlates to an increase in overt aggressive behavior. With an increase in violent mass shootings following the creation of the first-person shooter video game, researchers and the media have suggested that the two are correlated. Previous research has also suggested that an elevated heart rate is directly linked to aggression. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of playing a first-person shooter video game for differing durations on a person's physiological arousal. Results suggest that physiological effects did not significantly differ between violent and non-violent conditions as rates of sabotage and kills or attempts to sabotage and kill increased or decreased. Violent vocal behavior was observed to increase in the violent conditions over the non-violent conditions across all participants and the average duration of gameplay without deaths was increased over time for the violent condition indicating that the reinforcement schedule for the violent condition may have been more salient. Limitations included a short baseline which did not allow for steady-state responding and therefore it could not be determined how variable each participant's heart rate was prior to the gameplay making it difficult to determine if a physiological effect had occurred. Additionally, due to all conditions being held in the same room, the room could have become a conditioned stimulus and had an effect on all heart rate measures. Directions for future research could be to have longer baseline measures to obtain steady-state responding prior to introducing any gameplay condition and taking baseline and post-gameplay as well as conducting each research condition in different rooms to decrease possible effects of conditioning.
