Hundreds of studies have examined the interpersonal effects of video game consumption. This article provides a brief review of the relationship between violent and prosocial, respectively, video gaming and social behavior. Although some studies came to contradicting results, meta-analyses found that violent video game consumption increases aggression and decreases prosocial behavior, whereas prosocial video games have the opposite effects. Some evidence even suggests that video game consumption does not only influence the player, but also the player's social network. In terms of mediating mechanisms, cognitive and affective variables account for the effects of video game consumption on behavioral responses. Overall, whether video games have a negative or positive influence on others depends heavily on their content.
数百项研究已经检验了视频游戏消费的人际影响。本文简要回顾了暴力和亲社会视频游戏分别与社会行为的关系。尽管一些研究得出了相互矛盾的结果，但元分析发现，暴力视频游戏消费会增加攻击性，减少亲社会行为，而亲社会视频游戏则会产生相反的效果。一些证据甚至表明，视频游戏消费不仅影响玩家，还影响玩家的社交网络。就中介机制而言，认知和情感变量解释了视频游戏消费对行为反应的影响。总的来说，视频游戏对他人的影响是负面的还是正面的，在很大程度上取决于其内容。
