Abstract The purpose of my project was to investigate what impact playing violent video games has on an individual's physiological health. I notice when I play these games, my heart feels like it races. My breathing gets more rapid. In the game, I get startled and tense my body muscles. I sometimes feel like I'm sweating. My chest feels tight. My hypothesis was that I predicted that an individual's heart rate and respiratory rate would increase dramatically during the game. I was not certain what would happen to their blood pressure.
