Examined electronic
game-playing habits of 900 children. Found that time commitment
to game-playing decreased from fourth to eighth grade. Boys played
more than girls. Preference for general entertainment games increased
across grades while educational games preference decreased. Violent
game popularity remained consistent; fantasy violence was more preferred
by girls than by boys, who preferred human and sports violence games.
