It seems obvious that we would respond differently to the moral dimension of a game that we’re playing, as opposed to the moral dimension of a movie we’re watching or a book that we’re reading. But what are these differences? And are there ways that we psychologically engage with morality that are unique to video games?
We’ve invited Dr. Jamie Madigan, psychologist, author, researcher, life-long gamer, and host of the psychology and video games podcast to help us explore these questions.
Dr. Madigan writes and podcasts at psychologyofgames.com.
