People who love playing violent video games are at risk of having their minds distorted to the point of seeing their world differently. This is according to a new psychological study that was published on 18th, December, 2018 in the Journal of Visual Cognition.
The research was done jointly by Dr Steve Most from UNSW Psychology who is also a cognitive psychologist, Dr Kim Curby a colleague from Macquarie University and UNSW PhD student Sandersan Onie. The key aim of this study was to investigate how an individual’s video gaming behavior predicted whether he or she will be emotionally affected to the point of having emotion-induced blindness.
