I have a scientific background with a veterinary degree and a research degree and I was always taught that we should be testing a hypothesis. The framing of that hypothesis is vital in formulating a study. There is a big difference between formulating a hypothesis that says \u201cgaming has an effect on behaviour\u201d where you measure all sorts of behaviours to see if that is true versus \u201cgaming has a negative effect on behaviour\u201d and only looking for and measuring the negatives.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"tumblr_blog\" href=\"http:\/\/smarterplanet.tumblr.com\/post\/14168761889\/can-video-games-teach-us-how-to-behave\">smarterplanet<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2011-12-video-games.html\">Can video games teach us how to behave? | MedicalXpress.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the first time, the positive effects of computer games on  thoughts, emotions and behaviour will be the subject of closer scrutiny  by social psychologists. A total of three studies will explore how, to  which extent and for how long cooperative gaming behaviour influences  the personality of gamers positively. The project, funded by the  Austrian Science Fund (FWF), will complete the current state of research  on personality effects from computer games, which has previously been  dominated by studies of negative consequences. The studies have the  potential to offer significant ideas for analysing and reinforcing  social skills in all age groups.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>emergentfutures: Paul Higgins: I know that this is not exactly true but shouldn\u2019t\u00a0research\u00a0be looking for the truth, not getting on one side or other of the argument?
