New Research Suggests Violent Games Increase Your Number of Sexual Partners

Negative Gamer write:

"Essentially, the report questioned hundreds of students on a large number of topics. Internet use, porn, video games, sexual partners, drugs and relationships were all topics that students were asked about. The report then used the power of maths to find correlations between them.

The report only once makes mention of the fact that a correlation does in no way suggest either cause, effect or even a solid relationship between the actions in question. From looking over their results they appear to have found types of personalities, not cause and effect."

...and next week "violent video games make you stub your toe more"

wardrox5569d ago (Edited 5569d ago )

This "research" comes from the (via wikipedia) "Brigham Young University (BYU), located in Provo, Utah, United States, is a private, coeducational research university owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon Church)."

Hardly surprising that they arrived at the concludion that "Everything we found associated with video games came out negative."

Sorry for those people who just went out and frantically started looking for Manhunt :P

umair_s515569d ago

I agree I read a similar research else where.

Proxy5569d ago

I don't understand what your trying to say? Is it just an attempt to overthrow their research using Wikipedia?

lord_of_balrogs5569d ago (Edited 5569d ago )

@2.2
The LDS or any Church hates pre-marital sex and it hates videogames because it corrupts our "youth." It makes sense that they would convenietly come to the conclusion that videogames lead to sin.

What's negative about having more sexual partners?

Personally, I don't see the problem >_>

Proxy5569d ago (Edited 5569d ago )

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

So it's not credible because the school is owned by a church?

You may wish to note that the conclusion "Everything we found associated with video games came out negative." was made by a reporter writing about the research. It is NOT a conclusion made in the the research itself. The reporter is obviously bias in her reporting.

The research says that there is a correlation between sexual partners and video games. More partners, more video games, or visa-versa. It's a generalized statement.

As research clearly stated the correlations are not able to determine cause and effect. So the title of this article (on N4G) is not accurate.

Sharpshell5569d ago

that YOU are the one making unfair assumptions based on prejeduce over the church. If you read it you'd see that it doesn't suggest a cause and effect relationship just a coralation. Personally I think it makes sense, for instance the kinda guys who really like GeOW2 in my personal experience are all "friendly" shall we say with lots of diffrent ladies.

devilhunterx5569d ago

I assume their names are : LEFT and RIGHT.

pixelsword5568d ago

Mormons advocate multiple wives, so maybe it's a pro-videogames research paper?

wardrox5568d ago

Proxy:
"You may wish to note that the conclusion ... was made by a reporter writing about the research. It is NOT a conclusion made in the the research itself".

FTA:
"said BYU professor Laura Walker, the article's lead author." Walker is the lead author of the research paper.

Theoneneo815569d ago

where do people get these ideas and put them together next article will be Video games will make you more to blow your nose more?

Kushan5569d ago

I wouldn't be surprised, this article basically states that except it's not your nose you're blowing.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

When copying text from the source article make sure you read over the text and edit it if necessary. A good example is when a site writes "We" or "I" , as this should then be replaced with the site's or person's name, or you can quote the source.
