HEALTH MANAGEMENT. Child-parent relationship has a video game

Kids who think that their parents arms monitors or Gaul, which many tend, video games more than other children, according to a study by researchers of the Michigan State University.
The study by the National Science Foundation is one of the first funded parental behavior with children-video game play links. The researchers surveyed more than 500 students from 20 schools and found that the more children with their parents behavior as negative (such as "NAGs a lot"), and the less control parents have, the more children video games.
Lead researcher Linda Jackson, who next step is to find out what said children video game behavior - a subject of Jackson and her team plan is fueling to check.
"The parents the child into the world of video games, perhaps to go is negative interactions with their child parental negativity to escape?", said Jackson, Professor of psychology. "Or, Alternatively, causing the video game play feel the child and his relationship with the parent as negative?"
Also, it could play another feature of the child, which is responsible for the relationship between perceptions of parent negativity and video games, she said.
Jackson said an equally interesting question of the relationship between video game play and actual rather than perceived behaviour of the parents. Perceptions not always mirroring reality, said they, and this may be the case in the over-and-child relationship.
The study is in the proceedings of the 2011 World Conference on educational multimedia, hypermedia & telecommunications.
The study is part of a larger project in which Jackson and colleagues school performance, social life, psychological well-being and moral reasoning study the impact of technology on children.
