Are video games harmful?

Are video games harmful?

Hi all. A friend of mine is doing research for an article lobbying against anti video game laws and he needs more information.

Specifically:

Do you feel video games have stripped you of a life skill? Yes/No. If yes, which of these life skills do you feel you've been stripped of: 

Communication

Self-esteem

Passion - drive or will to do something

Compassion - humanitarian for 'care'

Temperance - or "emotion regulation"

Athleticism

Intellectualism

 

Be candid folks, do not worry whether your answer will provide further ammunition one way or another.

 

Thank you for your time.

There is a lot of research out there on this already.  Videogames, in some respects, can actually be beneficial.  In excess, they can definitely cause problems.  As with all things, moderation is key. Take a look at some existing studies.

Heck, the military uses video games to train its soldiers.

May the gods help the next country to invade S. Korea.
