Abstract

As a highly popular form of entertainment, the impact of games on the whole human group is a topic worthy of exploration. The frequency of violent elements is not low in the initial games, later video games, and even today’s virtual reality games. In addition, the audience of many games is all ages. The games have a particularly objective impact on children and adolescents. Therefore, in a fairly long time span, many psychologists have conducted various studies on the impact of violent games on people. However, the issue of the influence of violent elements on people generally exists as an additional item of the overall study, which is only an additional condition, and a separate and more detailed study is rarely carried out on this aspect. This article is to discuss people’s cognition of the influence of violent factors in games. It mainly uses a way of questionnaires, and discusses the simple distinction of the overall population. The results show that people who are exposed to games generally do not think that the violent elements of the game itself will have a great impact, but people who do not play games have a cognition that is consistent with the research on the impact of violent elements in games.
