Teens
who play mature-rated, risk-glorifying video games with antisocial,
protagonistic characters were more likely to engage in deviant
behaviors, including smoking and alcohol use, according
to a study of 500 teenargers.
Researchers said that changes in personality, values and attitudes may
explain these games' impact on the players' behavior.

On the other hand, when youth place video games for an hour or less, they tend to be better adjusted than those who never play video games. Low levels (<1 as="" daily="" high="" hour="" levels="" well="">3 hours daily) of game engagement was linked to key indicators of psychosocial adjustment. Low engagement was associated with higher life satisfaction and prosocial behavior and lower externalizing and internalizing problems, whereas the opposite was found for high levels of play.
