The 59 participants played their assigned game, Mortal Kombat on Nintendo Wii or Halo 2 on the Xbox, for 45 minutes with a partner. The researchers employed twelve t-tests (alpha adjusted to .004) and three multiple linear regressions to explore the difference of aggression levels in gender, violent video game, and predictors of aggression. Results showed no aggression differences in all twelve t-tests for the three aggression variables (physical, verbal, and general) pre and post-tests for gender or violent video game played. Additionally, there was no support found suggesting the violent video games, gender, and time spent playing video games caused aggression as previously touted by past researchers. In fact, the only significance found for predicting aggression were the pre-aggression scores in all three areas of measured aggression suggesting a need for proper control of variables and that aggression may be preexisting within the individual rather than caused by violent video game play. Este estudio fue diseñado para investigar los niveles de agresión en estudiantes universitarios de la región noreste de los Estados Unidos después de la exposición a videojuegos. 59 participantes jugaron a un videojuego asignado, Mortal Kombat en Nintendo Wii o Halo 2 en Xbox, durante 45 minutos con un compañero. Se emplearon doce pruebas t (alfa ajustado a 0.004) y tres regresiones lineales múltiples para explorar la diferencia de niveles de agresión en género, videojuegos violentos y predictores de la agresión. Los resultados no mostraron diferencias en agresión a lo largo de las doce pruebas t para las tres variables de agresión (física, verbal y general) pre y post-tests para género o videojuego violento jugado. Además, no se halló soporte sugiriendo que los videojuegos violentos, el género y el tiempo dedicado a jugar videojuegos causen agresión. De hecho, el único resultado significativo encontrado para predecir la agresión fueron las puntuaciones pre-agresión en las tres áreas medidas, sugiriendo la necesidad de un control adecuado de las variables y que la agresión puede ser pre-existente en el individuo y no causada por videojuegos violentos.
