Not all video game players are destined for lives filled with failing relationships and dwindling friendships according to a study. A lot depends on the role of the game-playing activity in the gamer’s life.
It’s a common stereotype that if you play video games, you are a loner, but it may have more to do with how a person in involved in gaming.
In the study, gamers who organized their lives around gaming activities tended to experience a negative effect on their friendships and relationships.
On the other hand, the researchers found that gamers who primarily played the game as a way to reinforce social bonds said they experienced higher levels of social ties and support.
