Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of playing versus observing a violent virtual reality game on young adults' arousal levels, feelings of hostility, and aggressive thoughts.

Results suggest that technologies varying from observational to participatory modes of interaction can have differing physiological and cognitive consequences.
