A study of 39,000 video gamers has found "little to no evidence" time spent playing affects their wellbeing.
Well-being was measured by asking about life satisfaction and levels of emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger and frustration.Conducted by the same department at the Oxford Internet Institute - but with a much smaller group of players - the 2020 study had suggested that those who played for longer were happier.
"But contrary to what we might think about games being good or bad for us, we found [in this latest study] pretty conclusive evidence that how much you play doesn't really have any bearing whatsoever on changes in well-being.
