Do Video games help college students manage their stress? Screen-shot-2013-02-10-at-12.17.52-AM

My thesis is measuring to see if video games can help manage a college students stress. There are many college students in America and at one point in their time I’m pretty sure that they have faced stress. Stress is caused by many things for example falling a exam, taking a test, having a job interview and etc.

The cognitive process that i am studying is, learning how to manage stress on college students.The cognitive process that I’m going to be focusing on for this project is stress on college students. I want to see if playing video games can help a college student manage their stress well.

Socially Relevant

My study is going to be socially relevant because my study is going to be focusing on to college students. There are many students that attend college a year in America.We as students face stress and we don’t have a answer to it. Kids are known as “The future” because were going to have to invent new technology,and find cures that hasn’t been found out in this generation.

Original work

The unsolved problem that i want to study is if other college students use video games to help them manage their stress. Nobody has created a game that has focused on college students and stress. Since video games helped me when i was stressed out i want to see if other college students use the same technique.

Intrest 

This project interests me because growing up as a child I loved to play video games. To this day I still play video games and I still have the same joy as I did when I was a child. As a college student I go through stress like everybody else does. For me when I deal with stress I play video games to help manage my stress levels. For this project I want to learn if other college students use the same technique as me.
