Research out of Michigan State University, led by social
psychologist Linda Jackson, linked playing video games to greater
creativity among both boys and girls, no matter what type type of
game they played. In the NSF-funded study of almost 500 12-year-olds,
boys played more video games than girls and were more likely to
prefer sport or violent video games, while girls tended to prefer
interactive video games. The study will appear in the journal Computers
in Human Behavior next year.
