Well, correlation doesn't imply causation, no? As it doesn't mean that playing video increase your well-being. Because being able to play video game imply being not too destitute, having enough free time to play and being mentally healthy enough to play (just today I was reading a post on a video game forum, with a poster complaining he was too depressed to do anything, including play video games).
- NoPicklez 5y agoEverytime an article like this comes up, there's always someone who says "correlation doesn't imply causation". Which anyone who has done statistics 101 knows this and the article says in its title, that there is a positive correlation (not causation). It also acknowledges in its limitations that it cannot claim that play time has a causal affect on well-being. They also say in the abstract that they found only a small positive relation between gameplay and well-being.
