TLDR
In this article, the authors explored relationships between personality, video game preference and gaming experiences and found that game genre, personality and gaming experience were found to correlate positively with the player experience of need satisfaction.Abstract:
This study explored relationships between personality, video game preference and gaming experiences. Two hundred and thirty-five participants completed an online survey in which they recalled a recent gaming experience, and provided measures of personality and their gaming experience via the Player Experience of Need Satisfaction (PENS) measure. Relationships between game genre, personality and gaming experience were found. Results are interpreted with reference to the validity of the PENS, current models of video gaming motivations and enjoyment, and sub-groups of people that may be more vulnerable to possible negative effects of games.read more
