Abstract :While many researchers have focused on how players\\\' levels of aggression are affected by the video game experiences, very few have studied the specific types of aggressive responses exhibited by players. s. This study aims to identify the levels of aggression and aggressive reaction categories, and how individuals react when they become frustrated by games. To achieve this goal, qualitative methodology was used for data collection. An online survey consisting of seven multiple-choice close-ended questions and one short open-ended question was administered. While devices, weekly playing hours, game categories, levels of competition, and violence were addressed in closed-ended questions, the types of aggressive reactions were asked with one open-ended short question. Participants\\\' answers were used to conduct narrative analysis to categorize aggressive responses. Of the 136 participants in the study, 49% reported exhibiting aggressive responses while playing video games. The most frequent responses were categorized as verbal aggression, followed by physical aggression, anger, and, lastly, hostility
