Emotion, autonomy and psychopaths

Within this article the writer talks about the cyberpsychology and how it should be seen as a proper branch of the psychology tree. Then they start talking about how video games effect peoples different side of the brain and how emotional attached people can get to certain characters. In this instance its Master Chief from the Halo franchise.

 ‘I would love to see people like myself get over to game developers and publishers the results of this research; and present them research that's going to work," she says


This is a nice quote from the article which i think would help video games out in the long scheme of things. With the added input into how games could/are affecting people game developers can act on this and help out to stop bad behaviour and increase good.
