Psychology Emotional Intelligence Aggressive Cognitions Aggressive Affect Video Games Affect Cognition Tetris Mortal Kombat Violent Video Games Video Game AbstractThis study investigated the relationship between violent video game use and aggressive affect and cognitions. Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a possible protective factor against the Aggressive Affect (AA) and Aggressive Cognitions (AC) that occur after violent video game use was also explored. Participants included 172 male undergraduate students, ages 18-22, from a Midwestern Catholic university. Positive correlations were found between baseline total Emotional Intelligence and post-game aggressive affect within the overall sample, violent video game group (VVG), and non-violent video game (NVVG) group. Notably, for the VVG group, the Use of Emotions (UOE) and Regulation of Emotion (ROE) EI subscales were negatively related to AA. For violent video game playing, the components of EI that regulate aggressive emotions and facilitate constructive activities both negatively correlated with aggressive affect; although the limitations of correlational design call for future research to better understand the role of EI in regards to AA. The results also showed that for the NVVG group, both the ROE and the Self Emotions Appraisal (SEA) EI subscales were negatively related to AA. Results were different for aggressive cognitions. The UOE EI subscale was found to be negatively related to AC in the NVVG group and positively related to AC in the VVG group. This study contributes to the literature on violent video game use and emotional intelligence. 2015 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1452010918 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1452010918 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
