A Study on the Relationship between Types of Electronic Games Played and Aggression

The effect that aggressive electronic games have on aggression was investigated. In this study, using the Myanmar version of the Aggression Questionnaire developed originally by Buss and Perry (1992), a questionnaire survey of high school student in Mandalay, Myanmar was conducted. The sample included 200 high school students at two Basic Education High School in Chanayetharzan Township. The results indicated that the aggressive game group did not score significantly higher on the Buss-Perry aggression scales. The duration and years of game play were not related to aggression, but frequency of game play correlated significantly with aggression
