The dual nature of escapism in video gaming: A meta-analytic approach

Researchers have previously argued that escapism via video games can lead to negative and positive outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate which outcomes (negative or positive) outweigh the others. Further, the authors examined how the cultural context (Western and Non-Western) affect...
