Playing video games could have a positive impact on a person's wellbeing, scientists at the University of Oxford have claimed. 'Our findings show video games aren't necessarily bad for your health; there are other psychological factors which have a significant effect on a person's wellbeing. 'In fact, play can be an activity that relates positively to people's mental health - and regulating video games could withhold those benefits from players. Professor Przybylski added: 'Policymakers urgently require reliable, robust, and credible evidence that illuminates the influences video games may have on global mental health,' the paper concludes. They found playing violent video games such as Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty did not make children more aggressive.
