I presented my first IRB-approved study, "Don't Shoot, Team Up?", at the Indiana University Summer Research Symposium!
Thank you to the IU Undergraduate Research Program for supporting this work through an IU Undergraduate Advanced Summer Research Scholarship, and to my mentor Joshua McGraw and faculty supervisor Dr. Justin Wood for their invaluable guidance.
This project explored how violent multiplayer games, specifically ARC Raiders, can also create opportunities for empathy, trust, and cooperation between strangers, an area that aligns closely with my long-term research interests in empathy, player behavior, and digital spaces.
I'm grateful for everyone who stopped by my poster and for the opportunity to share this work!
