Because I enjoy playing video games so much I have tried to learn about every aspect of them. There are a large number of negative effects that video games have on family life. From personal experience I know that video games will affect a family members lifestyle; for the good or bad depends on the person, his family, and the games he plays. ...
It’s easy to become withdrawn as a side effect of playing games because if you spend all your time playing you could forget how to interact with people, and unfamiliar social situations will begin to make you uncomfortable. ... For example if a young child plays excessively violent games they might see that type of behavior as acceptable and apply it to their life.
Some people who play games excessively will begin to lose touch with other aspects of their lives. ... Such as the person, they’re lifestyle, their family, their friends, and what games they play. ...
My first source of information is an article called “Video and computer games: Effect on children and implications for health education” by Steve M. ... Dorman discusses the various effects of video games on people. ... Dorman does not appear to be biased in any way, some tests that he mentioned show that children who play video games will be more violent, while other tests say the opposite. One such test was done on 447 junior high school students, and it showed that for the most part video games had a calming effect on the students who played video games more often than the others. Another test where students played a violent and non-violent video game and then were observed during their free play. It said that the girl’s free play was more aggressive after playing the violent video game while the boys were not affected.
