In the research, they talk a lot about interacting with people that you wouldn't necessarily interact with and being able to be a leader and being able to be helpful.

Um, and that's a perfect example of it.

Another example would be directly related to leadership skills.

So these are the games like World of Warcraft where you lead groups and this allows children, I mean, twelve, thirteen, fourteen year olds can lead groups of thirty year olds to success, you know, and this is something they would never

ever experience in real life or have the opportunity to do and and gain a sense of self-efficacy and and you know, be able to interact with different adults from all over the world.

In more general terms, you know, video games have also kind of been called emotional self-medication.

So this is kind of just as a general benefit of playing online, you can achieve sense of success, achievement, solving problems, social appreciation.

Because this this is not something you usually hear about when you hear about video games.
