Its findings were published in the Magazine Journal of Adolescent Health.

Family games

Sarah Coyne, the lead author, worked with 287 families with sons and daughters who usually enjoyed various video games. In the case of males, was that spend this time with one of their parents had no incidence in their behavior, level of aggression, mental health or connection with the family.

But for the girls play with parents did made the difference, that his family ties, mood and general mental health were widely benefit. “The surprise was that girls do not use the game both as males, but spend the same amount of time sharing this activity with one’s parents,” Coyne said.

Padilla-Walker explained that the benefits to the girls might be due to “is an activity between a daughter and his father, since not many mothers say yes to participate in video games.” “Share video games probably indicates a higher level of commitment of parents”.

At the same time, the researchers argued that the difference between girls and boys is that boys spend much more time playing with friends, so activities shared with parents do not draw much attention.

The authors made a warning: video games should always be appropriate for the age of the children.
