Girls who played video games with their parents also showed
many important behavioral outcomes. Specifically, we found an
association between co-playing of video games and lowered internalizing
(e.g., depression/anxiety) and aggressive behavior. Furthermore,
girls who co-played with their parents reported more
prosocial behavior toward family members, which may be a function
of higher relationship quality between daughters and parents
who co-play [20]. These findings certainly confirm parents’ own
views of co-playing [7,8], who believe that co-playing would result
in positive social and emotional outcomes.
