A series of experiments by @UniofYork looked at whether violent #VideoGames “prime” gamers for violent behavior IRL & they found NO EVIDENCE of such, mirroring the results of past studies on this matter: sciencedaily.com/releases/20…
No evidence to support link between violent video games and behavior

S/O to @Stanford for being the latest school to offer curriculum that strengthens #STEM skills through developing #VideoGames. Awesome to see students/gamers get the opportunity to build a career out of their passion. Which school will hop on board next? stanford.io/2Detgvc
Pathologizing #VideoGames as #GamingDisorder de-legitimatizes serious #MentalHealth conditions. Entertainment sources & pastimes are NOT disorders. WE NEED YOUR HELP: Tell the @WHO to reconsider their stance on video games: bit.ly/whoWatchesWHO
