Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Friendliness

The questions from the questionnaire were evaluated using standard statistical methods. It is common practice to phrase some questions negatively, to avoid somebody simply 'filling out the right column', but these questions were inverted again for the analysis (marked with an ‘n’).

As the graphs show, almost all questions regarding an increased bond between the players were ranked higher by the exertion group. This means they said more often that they connected with the other player than the people that played the keyboard game. Not all of these results are statistically significant, meaning that the differences for some questions are not big enough to generalize. However, a lot of them are, and the findings are summarized in the results.
