美國、日本和台灣曾發生學童殺人或自殺事件，事件主角都被發現有熱衷於暴力電子遊戲的現象。所以充滿暴力和死亡的電子遊戲內容，加上具有互動式特色的真實感，是否會使心智與人格尚未成熟的國小學童，經觀察學習而產生對死亡的偏差概念和態度，是值得關注的議題。本研究以六年級學童為研究對象，探究學童的暴力電子遊戲經驗與其死亡概念、死亡態度的關聯性。本研究結果部份支持研究假設：玩暴力電子遊戲經驗愈多的學童，與死亡的不可逆性認知較不成熟、有較不害怕死亡傾向、也較不傾向趨近導向的死亡接受、而卻有較高逃避導向的死亡接受傾向等，存有關聯性。

In recent years, several students from the USA, Japan and Taiwan have committed suicide or homicide after playing violent video games. These role-playing games may distort elementary school students’ identity formation, create biased values and affect their attitude towards death. It is worth close attention. The main purpose of this research is to examine the relationship among violent video games experiences, concepts of death and attitude towards death among sixth graders from elementary schools. The results of this research provide some evidence to support our hypotheses. Major findings showed significant relationships among students who had prior experience playing violent video games, immature understanding of the irreversibility of death, less fear of death, less tendency to approach acceptance of death, and a higher tendency to adopt an escapist acceptance of death.
