Do Video Games Make Us Antisocial? With Dr Rachel Kowert PhD
Manage episode 318967886 series 2362729
There are a lot of common thoughts around the negative impact of video games,: they're making us lazy, making us antisocial, making us violent... but are any of these claims actually true?
Rather than just ask the opinions of people on either side (which are always just going to be biased) we turned to science! Specifically Dr Rachel Kowert who had researched the very question of "are video games making us antisocial" for her PhD thesis. Athesis that in order to pass must be put under scrutiny and peer reviewed.
On this episode we get into that question and much more!
