The objective of this study is to verify the influence electronic games and the gender have over the social behaviour of the Brazilian generation Y population while taking into consideration the propensity to act more individualistic or socially. In addition, the way such behaviour affects this population within the labour market will be examined. Besides researching and documenting the included references relevant to the subject, data from Brazilian young people were collected using an online questionnaire. It was found that the habit of playing electronic games does not influence the way young people act, regardless whether that behaviour is more individualistic or collective. The Internet and electronic games do not interfere with the attitudes of the sample with regards to friendship, loyalty and group action. However, it was possible to notice that the gender influences different social behaviours.
