A new study out of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, suggests that those who spend time playing video games lay some of the ground work for socially responsible, good citizens in later life. Conducted by Dr. Kathy Sanford, the study examined children between the ages of 13 and 17 over a period of five years, and some interesting findings emerged. Sanford, who presented her findings this week, toldPolygon, “I found that the participants were very concerned about ethical and moral decisions, about the nature of what they are doing in the game,” something she says she “didn’t expect” to find.
