The more time u spend on video games the more you gain weight => unhealthy , obesity

research strategy

anh066217 — 2024-09-25 01:16:45 UTC

We will use quantitative data, because it gives us exact numbers on the time students spend on games and their scores after

Quantitative data

It's numerical and collected first hand by the researcher

The Possibility to test hypotheses while providing accurate numerical data
Less analysis is available as a researcher has no description from participant
Easier to produce graphs, charts, statistical presentations
More accurate and reliable

research methods

We will track their activity online when playing games to record how much time they spend on the games.

This method is more reliable than self-reporting to prevent them from lying.

The aim of this study is to examine associations between video game play and obesity in children.
The research efforts in the study "Video Games, Obesity, and Children" have primarily focused on examining the associations between video game play and obesity in children. The study conducted a scoping review of 26 studies (25 cross-sectional and 1 longitudinal) published between 2013 and 2018. The findings of these studies indicated a mix of results regarding the relationship between video game play and obesity in children.

The affect of video games on people's health : 53% of the studies reported no association between video game play and obesity.

12 studies reported positive associations between video game play and obesity.
There was preliminary evidence suggesting that exergame play (physically active video games) could help in weight reduction and attenuating weight gain.

The strength of this study

By focusing on studies published between 2013 and 2018, the study provides up-to-date insights into the evolving landscape of video games and their impact on obesity in children.
The study presents a balanced view of the evidence, highlighting both positive and negative associations between video game play and obesity

Limitations of this study

The review only included one longitudinal study, limiting the ability to assess the long-term effects of video game play on obesity in children => lack of longitudinal study

Name of the study: National Center for Biotechnology Information

The study says "There is inconclusive evidence that video games are associated with obesity and, due to the lack of longitudinal studies, virtually no evidence to evaluate if video game play directly contributes to obesity or weight gain in children."

The limitations of the study were
