For years, video games have been linked to aggression and violence, with researchers and media reports suggesting that violent games have inspired or even caused violent acts.
But a new study suggests that video games can be a force for good, finding that games with positive objectives can actually inspire people to perform acts of altruism. Research suggests that games like Lemmings, where the goal is to help others, inspire real-life acts of altruism. Over four experiments, Tobias Greitemeyer and Silia Osswald, researchers at the University of Sussex in England and Ludwig-Maximilian University in Germany, respectively, had participants play either a “prosocial” game—a game where the goal is to help others—or a “neutral” game, meaning it has no characters with whom to interact positively or negatively, like Tetris. The authors also investigated why they might have seen this link between prosocial games and prosocial behavior. StumbleUpon. Video Galleries : Zero Punctuation - StumbleUpon.
