Children's
views of social approval for electronic game playing were studied
with 364 fourth and fifth graders, 203 of whom were female. Many
children endorsed statements indicating that social approval for
game playing is consistent with common gender stereotypes. The greatest
differences in perceived approval were found for "fighting
games." (SLD)
