Online role playing games negatively affect real-life marital satisfaction,
according to a new Brigham Young University study published Feb. 15 in the
Journal of Leisure Research.
The study reports that 75 percent of spouses of sword-carrying, avatar-loving
gamers wish they would put less effort into their guilds and more effort into
their marriage. The researchers, led by graduate student Michelle Ahlstrom,
and recreation management professor Neil Lundberg, studied 349 couples to
learn how online role-playing games such as World of Warcraft, affect marital
satisfaction for both gamers and their spouses. And in some cases, gaming even
increased satisfaction.
