If children physicians are strongly advised not to spend most of his free time at the computer, fighting in virtual games, then retired the prohibition may not apply. Moreover, the scientists argue that computer games are for older people tangible benefits.

Experts from the University of NC   ( United States ) Conducted a special study, during which it became clear that video games are regularly played 61 percent of American retirees. Scientists claim that the fascination with computer battles affect the emotional state of people aged extremely positive.

The study involved volunteers who were already executed '63 . All were interviewed 140 people . Of these, 61% of participants noted that used to spend time playing video games every day, and even 35 percent   people said that at least once a week, indulge in this exciting lesson.

Next, the scientists exposed volunteers several tests to determine the level of satisfaction with their lives. As it turned out, the people who are playing regularly or at least once a week, devote time to video games, far more satisfied with life than those people who are completely indifferent to the virtual battles. Volunteers who do not play video games more often voiced complaints about the bad mood, besides they had a higher risk of doldrums .

However, to date, the researchers are not yet ready to present the public a final conclusion on the impact of video games on the emotional state. The following tests are scheduled, during which they are going to prove the positive influence of computer games on mental health. Note, however, that it in this case is solely about older gamers.
