Objective：The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of anger expression in adolescents after playing violent computer game.
Method： We compared STAXI(State-trait anger expression inventory) of pre- to post-playing violent computer game about 80 adolescents. Subjects were assessed with MMPI to evaluate the influence of character traits to the results.
Result： After playing violent computer game, anger-in and anger-control subscale scores decreased. Association with subscales of MMPI, in high D subscale group, anger-in subscale scores decreased and in low D subscale group, they increased. In high Pd subscale group, anger-out subscale scores decreased and in low Pd subscale group, they increased. In high Si subscale group, anger-in and anger-control subscale scores decreased but in low Si subscale group, they increased.
Conclusion： We found that the violent computer game was significantly related to the change of anger expression in adolescents and the change of anger expression was influenced by the adolescents’ individual character traits.
