TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARBloomberg:
Girls who play video games with their parents are generally better behaved and showed lower rates of depression than those who don’t, according to a study.
The benefit, reported in the Journal of Adolescent Health, wasn’t seen in boys, possibly because males spend less time gaming with their families than they did playing video games alone or with friends, the authors said.
