I'd like to see a straight, basic data psych profile of the gaming community. All the journal research I've found so far is marred by horrendous methodology, ambiguous hypotheses and, in at least two articles, a completely blase conflation of solo offline computer gaming with group tabletop gaming, as though the two activities are essentially identical.

That doesn't answer the OP much, but it riles me to read studies claiming that TTRPers are predominantly depressed or autistic social retards, because the sample only comprised teenagers who spend days playing Neverwinter Nights alone in their bedroom.

Rant is now over.
