Does playing violent video games affect and influence kid’s behavior to become more violent?
Hypothesis:
If kids do play violent games it does and will not influence them to have a negative and violent behavior.
Gather Data:
. The purpose of my data is to see if playing violent games will affect and influence their behavior
. 10 boys and girls will be surveyed at ages 15-18
. There will be questions about what kind of video games they play, do they consider themselves to be violent, and how do they feel after playing?
. Participants will not give their biographical information, just information about how much times a day they play and their personal preference on their behavior.
. The survey will see what type of video games most boys and girls play and if they play more violent games then the people will be asked about their behavior and if they ever gotten into any physical fights in the past
. The survey will collect relevant data because its asking about the behavior of the people and whether they have ever been violent or physical will anybody and it tells us however much times or how long they play it will not affect their behavior in any way. Plus, the survey also tells us why most kids prefer to play violent video games and it’s mostly just to have fun.
