This study compared attitudes of 216 high school students and 138 mature adults toward playing video-computer games. Younger subjects were more comfortable with video games, liked playing them better, and were more likely to have a computer at home. Older subjects were more afraid of computers, were not aware of the variety of computer games, and did not like playing video games very much.
