Description
OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, THE TOPIC OF GENDER AND COMPUTER GAMING HAS GENERATED MUCH RESEARCH INTEREST.

Most researchers have come to agree that although boys and girls can be equally skilled at using computers and computer games, boys are more likely than girls to choose to play with them, and children of both sexes consider both computers and computer games to be "boys' toys" (Cassell & Jenkins, 1998, p. 14).
