Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Experimental research has shown that playing violent video games produces higher levels of 
\naggressive cognition, aggressive affect, physiological arousal, and aggressive behavior (in the 
\nshort-term) than non-violent video games (see Anderson, Gentile & Buckley, 2007). However, 
\nthere are two major limitations with these studies. First, the majority of experimental studies that 
\nhave compared the effects of violent versus non-violent video games on aggression have failed to 
\nequate these games in terms of competitiveness, difficulty, and pace of action. Thus, although 
\nthe common finding is that violent video games produce higher levels of aggression than nonviolent video games, other unmatched factors beyond the actual violent content may be 
\nresponsible for the elevated levels of aggression. Second, previous experimental studies have 
\ntended to use a measure of aggression that may also measure competitiveness, leading to 
\nquestions about whether violent video games are related to aggression or competitiveness. The 
\npresent thesis addressed these two issues by fIrst equating a violent and non-violent video game 
\non competitiveness, difficulty and pace of action in Experiment I , and then comparing the effect 
\nof each game on aggressive behavior using an unambiguous measure of aggressive behavior (i.e., 
\nthe Hot Sauce Paradigm). We found that video game violence was not sufficient to elevate 
\naggressive behavior compared to a non-violent video game. Practical implications and directions 
\nfor future research are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
