Anyone who thinks this research is useless/doesn't prove anything is clueless about scientific research or in hardcore denial. | ||

Even if it's seemingly obvious and intuitive, legitimate research needs to be done before any policies are made by companies/doctors/hospitals/government/etc. It's like the driving with cell phone studies. No shit, txting at the wheel is dangerous but they need some empirical proof before they make it a crime. | ||

Funny you should mention that because it reminds me of the economical component vs moral considerations. A big influence is that if it wasn't so good for the economy texting/calling behind the wheel would be outlawed a long time ago. It's known to be as dangerous as driving with twice the legal amount of alcohol in your system. That same system actually works in the favor of gaming, before they take any action in such a huge business they'll make damn sure that it's worth it, with hard evidence of causality and the consequences would have to be that it's turning a lot of people antisocial. It's not like they will or even can suddenly take away gaming in liberal countries. | ||

Most people would agree with Rekrul yet they hate the research because SK gaming did a shitty job explaining the article. Sorry, let me rephrase that. They may be correlated, but this correlation does not indicate that gaming causes this type of behaviour. | ||

Play games as a loner is really far less fun than playing games with irl friends anyway, I think most of us can relate that having friends play SC with you makes it way more fun due to rivalries. I agree that playing wth friends is more fun. But i still think this study wasnt a very good one. Only 800 students? and in Utah? Wat about other states. or other countries. I watched the video... and i still think this is a badly done study. a good concept. just the way they did it was bad | ||

Conclusion A--->B or B--->A (can be a lot more complex like C---->A and B) and the conclusion the most convenient to the 'scientist' preconceptions is chosen. These people should be shunned from the scientific community with their pre-kindergarden logic. And burned to the stake in the name of progress. | ||

"Female gamers were more likely to suffer low self-esteem than other women, an effect not seen among male players, the study found." And above that: "By contrast, only around 7 per cent of women admitted that they played computer games that often." | ||
