Fussy Parents, Children's more like playing games

Playing Games

Parents who do not like their children to play most games should avoid asking the child to stop fussing. This actually triggered more hooked children play.

It is one of the results of a study at Michigan University as quoted from GamePolitics, Tuesday (13/09/2011).

Middle school students (junior high - high school) said that if their parents are always fussing ask them to stop playing, they are encouraged to play more.

But researchers also opens the possibility, the children were just 'feel' their parents are fussy, but in fact normal. The research was conducted in the form of a survey on 500 students from 20 high schools in Michigan.

Linda Jackson, professor of psychology who led the study, said they wanted to see if the negative interactions of parents encouraging children to play games.

The question, Jackson said, whether the children pushed into the world of games to avoid their parents or because the game play kids see their parents in a negative way.

This study received criticism from the gaming community because it appears to treat the activity of playing the game as something negative.
