Kurita et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional 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=<0.01). High habitual violent game exposure was significantly associated with higher sympathetic activity (CSI, p<0.01) and lower parasympathetic activity (CVI, p<0.001) regardless of video emotional content.
