“…Although debate is likely to continue on this issue and it is recognized that scholars could make good faith arguments both for and against the view that violent games increase aggressive behaviors, based on different pools of data, the current results fit with an increasing number of studies which indicate that the impact of violent games on aggression or other associated negative outcomes is minimal (e.g. Ballard et al, 2012;Bean and Groth-Marnat, in press;Charles et al, 2013;Devilly, Callahan, & Armitage, 2012;Parkes, Sweeting, Wight, & Henderson, 2013;Przybylski et al, 2014;Tear & Nielson, 2013). Coupled with a steady decline in youth violence by nearly 90% during the years in which video games soared in popularity (Childstats.gov, 2013) data is beginning to converge to suggest that perhaps there may be more productive avenues to consider when investigating youth's involvement with media rather than to focus on the moral issue of violent content.…”

“…Further research has continued to vary on whether violent video games do (Ivory & Kaestle, in press;Panee & Ballard, 2002;Williams, 2013) and do not (Ballard, Visser, & Jocoy, 2012;Charles, Baker, Hartman, Easton, & Kretzberger, 2013;Elson, Breuer, Van Looy, Kneer;Quandt & Kroger, 2013) provide evidence for the belief that violent games contribute to aggression in the laboratory. As such, it is difficult to make definitive statements about this research and interpretation of this research and what it means on a larger scale has often been acrimonious.…”

“…Recent findings seem to support the severity of this issue, as previously robust-seeming findings prove difficult to replicate under more controlled experimental setups. For example, (Charles et al, 2013) failed to observe a significant effect on any measure of aggression or aggressive thoughts between groups of participants who played either a violent or a non-VVG " ilarly, in (Tear and Nielsen, 2014), the authors investigated the effect of playing either a non-violent video game, a violent video game, or an ultra-violent video game. No effects on prosocial behaviour were observed even for those participants who played the ultra-violent video game.…”

AbstractVideo games depict a variety of different concepts. Models of learning in games like the GLM (General Learning Model) and GAM (General Aggression Model) predict that exposing players to these in-game concepts can lead to important changes in player behaviour.Priming effects are thought to be key to determining these changes in behaviour. However, recent research has suggested problems with the priming effects that have previously been observed in the video game literature. Indeed, widespread methodological issues with this body of research make it unclear whether priming effects occur at all in video games. Two experiments (total N = 532) investigated whether priming effects still occurred in video games when known confounds in the literature were accounted for. Priming was observed in neither study. However, in both studies a novel negative priming effect was observed instead, in which exposure to a specific concept i were related to that concept.These studies support previous research which indicates there may be serious confounding in the video game literature. They also suggest that the priming-related effects of video games may be overestimated. Finally, they highlight the potential existence of negative priming as an effect of video game play.

“…Besides in the entertainment field, motion capture is also used in medical or sport research to analyze human's movement (Kageyama, Sugiyama, Kanehisa, & Maeda, 2015;Mefferda & Cordera, 2014); in behaviour science to study the relationships between people's behavior and violent games (Charles, Baker, Hartman, Easton, & Kreuzberger, 2013); and in social science research to understand women's selection of men on the basis of body movement. These studies all take advantage of motion capture's characteristic of 'movement' recording and do further analysis.…”

In character animation education, the training process needs diverse domain knowledge to be covered in order to develop students with good animation ability. However, design of motion also requires digital ability, creativity and motion knowledge. Moreover, there are gaps between animation education and industry production which motion capture is widely applied. Here we try to incorporate motion capture into education and investigate whether motion capture is supportive in character animation, especially in creativity element. By comparing two kinds of motion design method, traditional keyframe and motion capture, we investigated students' creativity in motion design. The results showed that in originality factor, keyframe method had slightly higher performance support for designing unusual motions. Nevertheless, motion capture had shown more support in creating valid actions in quantity which implied fluency factor of creativity was achieved. However, in flexibility factor, although motion capture created more emotions in amount, keyframe method actually offered higher proportion of sentiment design. Participants indicated that keyframe was helpful to design extreme poses. While motion capture provided intuitive design tool for exploring possibilities. Therefore, we propose to combine motion capture technology with keyframe method in character animation education to increase digital ability, stimulate creativity, and establish solid motion knowledge.
