Most psychological lab experiments I'm acquainted with have very small long-term effects, as in they vanish after a week. Odds are that they dissipate quicker, but I usually see some experiments do a post-survey a week later. I imagine the long terms effects are the same in this experiment. |
That's good news. This concern that video game can encourage racism is probably supported by another concern - that some people play video games too much and base reality on the video game world. Luckily, very few people are like that. It's probably the same argument that people have with reality TV shows and movies. The only difference in video games is you seem to have a more immersive experience which make video game a bigger target than the former two.
