Аннотация: Video games are often seen as a reason for numerous psychological changes, both positive and negative, in players. For instance, many authors believe that video games push children and adults to risky behaviors and impulsivity. The aim of the study was to analyze both theoretical and empirical evidences of that sort, as well as to investigate parameters of personal and cognitive impulsivity and risk-readiness in adult video gamers. The sample of gamers included 223 participants, all from Russia. No evidence of high impulsivity was found, though video game players who were classified as active gamers turned to be more venturesome, compared to less active gamers. Sex-related differences were investigated: female gamers showed a significant decrease in empathy, while male gamers were found to be more venturesome. A study of cognitive style parameters suggests that video gamers showed no tendency for impulsive behavior and were more accurate, compared to non-gamers. The results are discussed in detail and contrasted to the published data, when applicable.
