In this project we decided to analyze anxiety in Gamers. We picked the dataset from kaggle because it intersected our personal interests. The data and survey can be found [here](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/divyansh22/online-gaming-anxiety-data)

The data was acquired by a survey published and shared online. This way everyone could participate. For us that also means taking into account that the distribution and answers can be scewed.

Some columns could be answered with an open text field. Naturally the answeres in those columns are very diversified and hard to analyze.

* "winning": players are more competitive than those who wish to improve, and derive immense satisfaction from outperforming. Players who play to win experience games more intensely than those in other categories.

* "having fun": players are not competitive. They are not particularly invested in improving or the outcome of the game, but instead play as a form of recreation. This does not imply the intensity or difficulty of a game is easy; a challenging game can still be fun as long as players derive satisfaction not from the outcome, but from the gameplay or environs (friends, etc).

* As expected, those who play to win are the least satisfied with their lives, as they disproportionately value being the best over enjoying the game.

* Interestingly, those who play to relax are also less satisfied with their lives on average. This may be because this category of players are not satisfied with life and use gaming as a means to destress.

* Those who selected "all of the above" have a much smaller range of SWL metrics. This is due to the small sample size.
