Public project summary

This research project anticipates surveying people (from ages 13-25) regarding how they personally think shooter video games has affected them in the past. An experiment will be conducted with 10 or more test subjects, where there will be psych evaluations before and after playing shooter video games for 3 hours (tentatively). Previous research and collected data will then be reviewed to confirm whether there is a connection that will lead to a conclusive thesis.
