High habitual violent game exposure was associated with significantly higher sympathetic nervous system activity (p < .01) and lower parasympathetic activity (p < .001) compared to low exposure.
Observational (n=45)
Does high habitual violent game exposure alter heart rate variability (CSI and CVI) during affective information processing in university students?
Habitual violent game exposure is associated with higher sympathetic and lower parasympathetic baseline activity during affective information processing, suggesting chronic autonomic nervous system alterations.
p-value: p=<.01
Kurita et al. (Wed,) conducted a observational in Habitual Violent Game Exposure (n=45). High Habitual Violent Game Exposure vs. Low Habitual Violent Game Exposure was evaluated on Cardiac Sympathetic Index (CSI) (p=<.01). High habitual violent game exposure was associated with significantly higher sympathetic nervous system activity (p < .01) and lower parasympathetic activity (p < .001) compared to low exposure.
