🎮 New study: Teen gaming addiction may stem more from pre-existing mental health issues (like anxiety & depression) than from video games themselves.

It is not just about the joystick, but it’s about what’s going on in the mind. 🧠

“Why is my teen addicted to video games?”
Our new study in JAMA Network Open shows that psychopathology is a key driver--not an outcome of gaming disorder!
Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and social challenges may underlie gaming disorder.
Treat the root, not just the game. 🎮🧠

Humans tend to reject emotional support from an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot unless that empathy is falsely labelled as being from a human, according to research published in @nathumbehav.nature.com:

#PsychSciSky #Psychology #PsychSci
Comparing the value of perceived human versus AI-generated empathy - Nature Human Behaviour
AI mimics empathy well, but does its empathy feel different? The authors show human empathy has unique value: human-attributed responses are rated as more empathic than AI-attributed ones, especially when conveying shared experience and care.

Bauer states the reviewers were positive. In spite of raising all the concerns. And one was a stats expert. And somehow, all this positivity turned into 3! rounds of revision that eventually involved EIC Lindsay. I'm not an editor at PsychSci, but that's not how it goes for me
