Also, the part of playing games is negatively related to children's empathy, children who play games more often have lower levels of empathy and vice versa- children who have lower levels of empathy are more likely to play games. Gender differences in the choice of computer games are also evident. Boys are more prone to action and sports games, while girls are more prone to simulation games. Games can seriously affect the development of each child if control over the amount of time spent playing games, and its content is lost. The resuts of the research encourage us to think about the reasons why emotional intelligence or empathy are negatively correlated with excessive gaming computer games.Why there are gender differences between boys and girls in the content they choose and the time they spend playing computer games.
