Abstract
Canadian students played a violent or non-violent video game cooperatively with an outgroup member (an American student) and completed an intergroup attitude measure. Participants’ attitude ratings toward the partner’s social group (students from the American university) do not differ in the violent or non-violent video game conditions.
