Jugar videojuegos violentos no influye en la agresividad vial de adultos jóvenes.

Are these variables related? The use of videogames is understood as playing on computerized systems for purpose of entertainment, and traffic aggression is defined as any behavior that has the goal of reducing the well-being of one or more individuals in the context of driving a motor vehicle. This study had the purpose to establish the connection between these two variables, by means of a quantitative, cross-sectional and ex-post facto methodology and previously designed questionnaires.

El uso de videojuegos violentos se asocia por sentido común con el comportamiento agresivo, especialmente de los jóvenes. ¿Están asociadas estas dos variables? Se entiende como uso de videojuegos el invertir tiempo en sistemas computarizados de entretenimiento, mientras que la agresividad vial se entiende como todo aquel comportamiento que tiene como fin la reducción del bienestar de uno o más individuos del entorno a través del uso de un vehículo automotor. Este estudio tuvo como fin establecer el vínculo entre estas dos variables, a través de un diseño cuantitativo, transversal, ex post facto, e instrumentos utilizados en otros estudios. Se abordó a una colección de 217 participantes que cumplieran con los criterios de inclusión, de los cuales la mayoría fueron hombres jóvenes con estudios universitarios. Se encontró que no existe una relación probabilística entre el uso de videojuegos violentos y el comportamiento agresivo en la movilidad.
