1991 - Relationship of role-playing games to self-reported criminal behaviour.
Abyeta, Suzanne and Forest, James (1991, December). Gamers are lower in criminal tendencies than rest of population.
Abstract
The hypothesis that role-playing experience should be positively correlated with self-reported criminality was examined. Regression analysis indicated that role-playing experience did not relate to self-reported criminality. However, Psychoticism, which was higher in the nonplayers, did predict criminality.
