VideoGaming Stresses Kids Out. Or Not.

Scarlett JohanssonBritish researchers recently released a study stating that playing videogames can “push anxiety to such a level [and] without physical action can cause adrenaline overload. The rise in anxiety disorders is frightening.”

The article sums up the study nicely, and it’s worth a read.  But it’s also worth noting that, of course, there are other studies that show gaming is a rewarding psychological experience that is overwhelmingly positive for most people.

Bottom line, a single study with the right group of people can lead you to determine just about anything.
