Default Research Says Games Can Be Psychologically Fulfilling

Research Says Games Can Be Psychologically Fulfilling
http://gamepolitics.com/2007/01/25/r...ling/#more-609

Why do we play video games?

"We think this is really one of the first validated models of what is going on psychologically when people are playing video games. We’re trying to in some sense normalize how people look at video games, rather than seeing them as having some mystical power to addict.

Video games in some ways are very good at satisfying these psychological needs. Often times real life is not as clear… real life often can make you feel ineffective."

Rigby adds that many of today’s video games have “tremendous potential to impact people,” which provides fertile grounds for psychological studies.

"There is still more work to do, but our data suggests that when games meet the underlying needs in our model, they not only predict better psychological outcomes for players, but better commercial success for games. So what’s good for players may well be good for the industry too."
