    There have been a few studies on FPS and logic/spatial awareness as well as reaction speed so you could be right.

    Do Video Games Affect Personality?

    would you say your gaming experiences relates to the level of immersion you feel then? there's a few studies along those lines that have been released recently in regards to Role-Play type games.

    Do Video Games Affect Personality?

    I don't think it would do, but if I chose to re-examine the study for my postgrad (more time and funding) it could be something I could look into then.

    Do Video Games Affect Personality?

    That's because the personality questionnaire used is the generic NEO/OCEAN official questionnaire. I don't have permissions (or enough experience) to alter it for my purposes.

    Do Video Games Affect Personality?

    I agree with this. Too much influence is placed upon isolated incidents strung out by other media methods as opposed to the whole story. In my opinion, a huge amount of research into video game violence does not take into account the changing environment as a whole in terms of desensitization...

    FalloutJack - it's very interesting to hear your theory! personality is one of those areas of psychology that are a complete minefield, there are so many conflicting views. If your personal theory is that personality is innate and unchangable, do you think people can be drawn to certain genres...

    Demon ID - I'm very much a gamer, though not so much an online gamer. I wanted to do something that 1. I find personally interesting to keep motivation and 2. that doesn't just generalize video games as a whole. Thanks for asking.
