New study in gaming habits reveals that we are normal |
Ó
Hope Cummings and Dr. Elizabeth Vandewater for the medical journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine from the University of Michigan have made a new study on gamers and their habits. Using survey data collected for a year (in fact, a school year), from 1,491 gamers and non-gamers alike, the study has come to some interesting conclusions, and some other tidbits that could confirm what gamers have known since the birth of gaming.The study has determined that gamers (aged 10-19) don't prioritize games over their family. Gamers and non-gamers actually spend about the same time with their family. See? Gamers aren't slaves to their consoles.
The study also concludes though that while their social interactions don't suffer, schoolwork does. But then again, the mind does tend to wander even without the help of video games. It'd be great if they conducted a research on "studying through video games" or maybe that's just us.
The study also found that more boys play video games than girls. Really. It's true. The results also suggest that playing video games have different social implications for both genders. But then, so does sex.

Anon delivers.
what idiots they find this now, i could have told you this a long time ago.
yeah, someone could create a game that covers the countries of the world, so americans could learn that *america* isn't a continent nor is the biggest country in the world. or imagine if they could pinpoint where iraq really is? that'd be an evolution!
ok, maybe that's ask that much..
"The study also found that more boys play video games than girls."
How much research did they have to do to figure this one out?
hahahahahaha
nice comments

Your post made me chuckle--not only is it stupid, racist and pathetic, it's not relevant to the discussed topic!
1. Yes i know the US is not a continent your mother told me that while she was sucking my *****. North America is.
2. Im smarter than you are so why are you making jokes against americans.
3. I would kick your ass in any fight.
4. Stfu your a little kid that doesnt know *****.
Wow gamers are normal... No Way!!! That is just absurd and unheard of. They say that games affect your grades HAH BULL*****!!! I love to play games and for my overall grades last year (which was when i played the most) i had about a 3.7 GPA their study is bull***** unless im the only smart gamer out there?
But you don't know your grammer.
Dam i thought that i was special for playing video games. I'm apparently normal.
