Videogames shown to alter the self esteem of men and women

News flash – videogames, like all other media in a body image obsessed culture, can lead to lowered self esteem in males and females. According to PS Extreme, a study at Kansas State University noted differences in self-esteem related surveys in students who played a beach volleyball game (the women) and a wrestling game (the men). So, everyone felt worse about their body after playing games that depicted muscle-bound men and lithe, busty women. What a shocker.
