Preschool children are gaining widespread computer
access yet there is little known about how a child's
personality affects his or her interest in computers.
This book contains an academic empirical study
which investigates the relationship between
temperament and computer play patterns among
preschool age children. The author went into 3
preschools, set up a computer play center, and asked
teachers to provide their observations about each
child's computer play. Parents were asked to
fill out questionnaires about their children's
temperament. Results indicate that there is
interplay between children's gender, personality, and
computer play patterns. Results of the study are
discussed in light of the "goodness of fit model". This book would be of interest to researchers
investigating topics of computer play and
personality.
