A recent analysis of national survey data suggests that playing video games does not correspond to increased prejudiced beliefs. Instead, researchers found that gamers tend to hold more inclusive cultural values than the general American public.

      Well it was posted about by psypost which is dogshit and constantly spams headlines like this based off studies with n=25 chinese teenagers, online survey

      But then psypost writes a 50 paragraph “blog” post about it like its gospel and never mentions these insane limitations, and almost everybody happily accepts these posts because the headline meets se confirmation bias if theirs, or an expected one at least, then sprints to the comments to blather on and on about it, never even reading the original crappy study

      Its all really unscientific but masquerades as scientific fact

      I despise psypost and think it should be banned

      We cant even verify the methodology or sample size of this one but look at all the commenters in this thread who have seemingly accepted it as valid science
