They could also probably do with a bigger sample size.

And less weird generalizations based on sketchy evidence?

What surprised me about this study was the fact that they didn't seem to ask the participants whether they were gamers or not. As game studies scholars, we are all well aware of all the cultural factors that go into whether girls game or not - I wonder if girls who had grown up succeeding at games would have felt a lot more rewarded by this game than the 11 girls they asked to play for this study.
