So, I was reading on the 'net and found this report about a study that claims "the part of the brain that generates rewarding feelings is more activated in men than women during video-game play."
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 140115.htm
I don't find it too surprising once they get into more of the details about the results, talking about who is more territorial and all that. But what I really have to wonder is this: couldn't they have been doing something more productive than studying video games for this?

Interesting article and study - not! I find this to be very predjudiced against females. I mean, come on there was only 22 people total (11 men and 11 women) in this whole study. Sheeze, I think to come up with a viable answer, they need more people than this.

More control and territorial? A woman can be just as if not more controlling than a man can. I vote false!
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Fully agreed. For any study to be viable, you need a sample group bigger than 22 people. Maybe if they redid this study with more people, I'd take it more seriously. Maybe.
Or they could spend their time studying something a little more worthwhile.
