Psychological Sciences Major Presents Poster

Alexander Watters, a Junior Psychological Sciences major, recently presented a poster at the 14th Annual Meeting for the Society of Social and Personality Psychology in New Orleans, LA. The poster was entitled, "Feeling Punchy? Aggressive Motion Sensing Gaming Activates Aggressive Thoughts More Than Controller-based Aggressive Gaming." This research, conducted with Drs. Dupuis and Eskine from Psychological Science, showed that participants who played an aggressive motion sensing game showed significantly more aggressive thought (as measured by a word completion task) than participants who played a controller-based aggressive or non-aggressive game or a motion sensing non-aggressive game. This work has been written in manuscript form and submitted for review to a psychological journal.
