Here's a short item about a Middlesex University study that concluded that players of violent video-games experience relaxation after they finish playing:
The psychologists studied 292 male and female online gamers playing World of Warcraft. They found that overall the gamers, aged between 12 and 83, were more likely to feel calm or tired after playing, although there were differences depending on sex, age and personality.
"There were actually higher levels of relaxation before and after playing the game as opposed to experiencing anger but this did very much depend on personality type," said Middlesex University's Jane Barnett, who is also an International Game Developers Association committee member.
