Video game playing can make you angry or aggressive.
游玩電子游戲會使你變得易怒或者有侵略傾向。
But it seems that the key factor may not be the violence.
但貌似引發原因的并不是游戲中所含的暴力內容本身。
It's the player's incompetence at the game that's behind the ramped-up emotions, whether they're upping their kill count in Grand Theft Auto 3 or simply trying to solve a puzzle in Tetris.
隱藏在玩家情緒高漲后面真實存在的弱爆了的游戲技巧才是罪魁禍首，無論是在狹盜飛車3中殺人數的增加，抑或是單純試圖解決俄羅斯方塊游戲中的小難題。
That's the take-away from a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
這是根據《性格和社會心理學》雜志上一篇相關研究得出的結論。
Researchers tested violent and nonviolent variations of a custom-designed game on 600 players.
研究人員們從600多名玩家游玩量身定制的游戲中測試暴力和非暴力變量所起到的作用。
They found that poorly designed or overly difficult games left participants as enraged, if not more so, than violent games did.
相比純暴力游戲，更為重要的是，他們發現設計拙劣或者難度系數過高的游戲會使得玩家逐漸被激怒。
Violent games have long been blamed for subsequent violent behavior in players.
暴力游戲一直被認為是造成玩家游玩后引發的暴力行為的罪魁禍首。
And some research finds that long-term play changes regions in the brain associated with cognitive function and emotional control.
而一些研究已經表明長期玩游戲會導致大腦內部認知功能和情感控制相關的結構發生變化。
Additional studies say such games increase aggression in children.
進一步研究表明這樣的游戲也會造成兒童的暴力傾向。
But other investigators say the games actually have a calming effect on players, especially those with a preexisting mental health condition.
而另一些調查人員表示電玩實際上可能對部分玩家有冷靜情緒的效果，特別是對那些提前出現精神健康問題的玩家。
All those research efforts may need to be re-examined in light of the new finding.
在有新發現前所有的相關研究還需要經過再次檢測確認。
In other words, don't hate the game, hate the player.
換句話說，游戲本身并無罪，都怪玩這游戲的那位。
Or at least his lack of skills.
或者無論如何技術實在是太爛了。
