Abstract:
Video game play is a pervasive recreational activity, particularly among college students. While there is a large research base focused on educational video game play and uses of games in the classroom, there is much less research focused on cognitive strategies and entertainment video game play. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential relationships between general problem-solving styles and problem-solving approaches in video games. One hundred and thirty-eight undergraduate college students completed online surveys about their video game play and also an assessment of general problem-solving style. A multivariate linear regression revealed relationships between general problem-solving styles and problem-solving preferences in video games, with a few differences when looking at specific genres of games. This study provides evidence that approaches to video game play can be a reflection of real-life problem-solving styles.

Abstract:
Video game use is widespread among all age groups, from young children to older adults. The wide variety of video game genres, which are adapted to all tastes and needs, is one of the factors that makes them so attractive. In many cases, video games function as an outlet for stress associated with everyday life by providing an escape from reality. We took advantage of this recreational aspect of video games when investigating whether there are similarities between the procedures used to pass a video game level and those used to solve a mathematical problem. Moreover, we also questioned whether the use of video games can reduce the negative emotions generated by mathematical problems and logical–mathematical knowledge in general. To verify this, we used the Portal 2 video game as a research method or tool. This video game features concepts from the spatial–geometric field that the students must identify and relate in order to carry out the procedures required to solve challenges in each level. The procedures were recorded in a questionnaire that was separated into two blocks of content in order to compare them with the procedures used to solve mathematical problems. The first block pertains to the procedures employed and the second block to the emotions that the students experienced when playing the video game and when solving a mathematical problem. The results reveal that the recreational aspect of video games is more important than the educational aspect. However, the students were not aware of using the problem-solving procedures they learned at school to solve different challenges in the video games. Furthermore, overcoming video game challenges stimulates positive emotions as opposed to the negative emotions generated when solving mathematical problems.

Abstract:
In the video game industry, older adults tend to be avid consumers. Although considerable research has been devoted to the positive cognitive effects of video games, less attention has been paid to the older adult gamer profile. The aim of this paper is to describe a survey conducted from November 2012 until May 2013, which includes 245 gamers aged 50 and over, about their game preferences. Specifically, the authors examined: (a) what types of video games are played and (b) what leads these players to be engaged by video games. The results indicate that adventure games with problem-solving are preferred, suggesting the skills that participants would like to practise. The study provides insight into a new video gamer profile.

Abstract:
Introduction: The excessive use of video games is an emerging problem that has been studied in the context of addictive behaviors. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of use of addictive video games in a group of children and to identify risk factors, protective factors and potential consequences of these behaviors.Material and Methods: Observational and cross-sectional study of children from the sixth grade using an anonymous questionnaire. Addictive video game use was defined by the presence of 5 out of 9 behavioral items adapted from the DSM-5 criteria for ‘Pathological gambling’. Children who answered ‘yes’ to 4 items were included in the “Risk group for addictive video game use”. We delivered 192 questionnaires and 152 were received and included in the study (79.2% response rate). SPSS statistical software was used.Results: Half of the participants were male and the median age was 11 years old. Use of addictive video games was present in 3.9% of children and 33% fulfilled the risk group criteria. Most children played alone. We found additional factors associated with being in the risk group: greater time of use; online, action and fighting games (p < 0.001). Children with risk behaviors showed a shorter sleep duration (p < 0.001).Discussion: A significant number of children of our sample met criteria for addictive video games use in an early age and a greater number may be at risk (33%). This is a problem that warrants further research and clinical attention.Conclusion: This exploratory study helps to understand that addiction to video games in children is an emergent problem.

Abstract:
Evidence shows inactivity and obesity are a substantial global burden, economically and physiologically. Sedentary screen time strongly contributes to this burden. Sedentary screen time is often achieved through video game play. Active video games (AVGs) tried to solve the screen time problem. AVGs work, having small to moderate positive effects on activity levels and body composition changes. However, they perform consistently poorly on the commercial market. This represents a paradox: AVGs work pragmatically, yet underperform commercially, limiting their impact practically. The purpose of this study was to explore this paradox with the aim of understanding how AVGs compare to non-active video games (NAVGs), based on gameplay experience. Findings revealed that AVGs have a significant negative comparison to NAVGs. Qualitative exploration highlighted several important considerations; gamer motivation, the lack of quality and variety in AVGs, the stereotype in AVGs, and the practical limitations of the hardware that supports AVGs. Perception of an augmented reality platform, a potential solution to the issues, was found to be positive.

Abstract:
Video games are games that can be played by one or more people which are produced by computer programs on a television screen or other display screen. Video games are included in a protected work in accordance with Article 40 paragraph (1) letter r and Article 59 paragraph (1) letter d of Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. The nature and elements of video games are complex, creating confusion regarding the video game category. In some countries, video games are included in the category of computer programming while in other countries, video games are included in the category of audiovisual. In addition, another difficulty that arises is the copyright holder of video games because as we know, the video games that are widely played these days, are created by game developers who consist of not only one or two people but hundreds of experts and professionals. Then, another problem is regarding video game online piracy. This has happened so often that it becomes one of the game developers concern and restlesness about every time they launch a new video game. So it also examines the prevention and protection of video games being pirated online.

Abstract:
This article provides a synthesis of a group of research studies conducted to better understand in what ways children’s entertainment video game play choices relate to their creativity, motivations, problem-solving strategies, learning preferences, and beliefs about how to play games. Three studies were conducted among American students: (1) a survey and creativity assessment with students aged 9–11, (2) an in-depth qualitative study with three adolescent boys, and (3) an online survey. Key findings from this research relate to both psychological factors motivating video game play, and cognition and choices children make while playing video games. Results from these studies demonstrate that, despite assumptions that children play video games to avoid mental stimulation, children are actually motivated by the challenge and thinking required by video games. The reward system used in video games is a strong continuing motivator for boys in particular. Among both genders, playing certain genres of video games is related to utilizing particular learning strategies. Additionally, though creativity does not appear to be hindered by video game play, the most creative children are generally not choosing to spend their time on video games. Finally, children create their own code of conduct and ethics within video game play, although an individual’s work ethic within video games tends to reflect patterns in other areas of life. Collectively, these studies provide a rich picture of children’s video game play and show consistency, both between game contexts and real life choices, and with other literature related to children’s motivations and strategies for learning.

Abstract:
Notre travail concerne la créativité en groupe 'group creativity' dans la conception d'un jeu musical. Notre but est d'identifier et de caractériser les processus collaboratifs et de conception, et plus précisément ceux impliqués dans la génération de solutions créatives. A un deuxième degré, notre objectif est de caractériser les solutions créatives. Durant une étude ethnographique dans un studio de conception de jeu vidéo, d'une part, les réunions collaboratives ont été enregistrées et d'autre part, un entretien combiné à un questionnaire ont été réalisé avec des concepteurs. Avec ces données, nous avons adopté une approche originale qui croise différents 'focus' de la créativité ; le 'focus' processus avec une perspective troisième personne, i.e. notre analyse en tant que chercheur-observateur, le 'focus' produits avec une perspective première personne, i.e. la perspective des concepteurs eux-mêmes et à un moindre degré, le 'focus' place en tant qu'environnement sociotechnique. Pour analyser les processus, nous avons combiné trois analyses appliquées à nos corpora d'enregistrement vidéo. Premièrement, une analyse de contenu a pour but de souligner les activités de conception, et les problèmes et solutions. Deuxièmement, une analyse interactionnelle a pour objectif de mettre en exergue les formes de collaboration, i.e. des paires adjacentes récurrentes d'activités de conception collaboratives autour de la génération de solutions, donc avant pendant et après la génération de solution. Troisièmement, une analyse longitudinale a été conduite pour mettre en lumière la temporalité de la résolution de problème collaborative dans les réunions, plus précisément les processus sociocognitifs de conception, i.e. les processus cognitifs de conception distribués parmi les concepteurs/participants, et les formes de collaboration. Pour analyser les produits, les solutions générées dans nos enregistrements vidéo ont été évaluées par les concepteurs eux-mêmes sur la base de deux dimensions de la créativité, i.e. nouveauté et faisabilité. Ainsi, les solutions les plus créatives ont pu être distinguées des moins créatives par une analyse quantitative. En complément, les justifications utilisées par les concepteurs pour expliquer leurs évaluations ont été investies pour caractériser les solutions créatives par une analyse thématique. Finalement, notre objectif principal a été atteint par le croisement des 'focus' processus et produits. Ce croisement a pour but de mettre en exergue et caractériser les formats de collaboration et processus sociocognitifs de conception spécifiques à la génération de solutions créatives grâce à une analyse quantitative utilisant les taux de liaison. Au regard des processus, notre approche originale a souligné le concept de formats de collaboration comme différentes structures formées de paires adjacentes récurrentes autour de génération de solution et/ou problème. Trois formats de collaboration ont été identifié : (1) formats directifs, i.e. formes spécifiques d'activité de conception collaborative servant à déclencher l'évolution et la définition des espaces de solution c'est-à-dire problème et solution ; (2) formats relationnels, i.e. construction de relations entre une idée de conception en discussion et d'autres idées -réifiées ou non- à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur des limites du projet de conception ; (3) formats représentationnels, i.e. co-construction de représentations d'une idée de conception en discussion dans le but de la développer au travers de multiple points de vue. Au regard des produits, nous avons mis l'accent sur plusieurs caractéristiques des produits créatifs confortant la littérature (nouveauté, approprié, surprise) dont une, 'ownership', est original. Finalement, le croisement des 'focus' processus et produits a mis en exergue que les formats de collaboration relationnels sont fortement associés à la génération de solutions créatives.

Abstract:
The primary purpose in this case study was to explore the use of three-dimensional virtual spaces via the use of the game Minecraft as a teaching tool. The case study examined the effectiveness, self-efficacy, and social interaction of students when using such a tool in the teaching and learning process. The research analyzed knowledge acquisition through various deliverables such as benchmark pre and post exams, student discourse, and tangible objects created from the lessons by the students. Students were enrolled and participated in a summer camp offered from Arts and Technology Institute in North Texas. The camp utilized Minecraft to teach architecture types. Students learned about pyramids (Egyptian and Aztec), Roman/Greek architecture, Gothic architecture, and Post-Modern Architecture. Each day students were exposed to a different them of architecture and were tasked with building a world that was in the theme of an assigned type of architecture. Fifty-nine school age students ranging in ages from eight to twelve years old participated fully in the study. The students were not grouped by age, but instead self-selected partners with which to work during the course of their creations. Results show that students who participated in the Minecraft driven course were highly engaged and reported a positive experience during the course of learning. Participants worked cohesively to achieve common goals and problem solve during the course of project completion. Participants freely participated in discourse that was on the topic of the lesson, as well as, offered suggestions for improvement and solicited ideas from other participants. Pre and posttest results yielded an improvement in knowledge acquisition regarding general knowledge of architecture types. Many students frequently used the word “Fun” to describe their learning experience as cited in their daily blog entries. The research strived to show that using Minecraft as a teaching tool can create an environment in which students are highly engaged and are afforded an opportunity to learn material in a way that students can see as an applicable reason for learning. Results of this research evidence Minecraft as a tool in learning yields an atmosphere in which students take ownership of their learning and work in concert with other members of the classroom to yield positive learning outcomes.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to test whether video game use is associated with more problems with spending time together among married couples, whether problems with time together are associated with relationship quality, and whether attachment behaviors can moderate the association between time together as a problem and relationship quality. Previous studies have found a negative association between excessive video game use and couple relationship outcomes. Excessive video game use may negatively impact relationships by taking away from time spent on shared leisure and relationship maintenance activities. The Double ABCx model provided a theoretical framework for understanding how attachment behaviors such as accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement may act as protective factors that buffer the stress created by video game use and perceiving time together as a problem on couple relationships. A sample of 415 married couples who took the Relationship Evaluation Questionnaire between 2011 and 2013 and indicated that one or both partners played video games was used. Results indicated that there was a negative indirect effect of women's sports and music game use on women's relationship quality via women's reports of time together as a problem in the relationship. There was also a positive indirect effect of women's exercise game use on relationship quality. There was also a negative association between men's and women's reports of time together as a problem on own relationship quality. Men's attachment behaviors moderated the association between women's reports of time together as a problem and women's relationship quality. Clinical implications include more thoroughly assessing why video game use may be a problem in the relationship and fostering healthy attachment behaviors.

Abstract:
Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is included in the DSM-5 as a condition warranting more clinical research. Problematic gaming may increase when substance use is present (e.g. cigarette smoking, alcohol use; Raiff et al., 2012; Wartberg & Kammerl, 2020). However, little is known about the relation between cannabis use (CU) and IGD. Thus, the current study hypothesized that individuals engaging in increased CU will exhibit higher rates of IGD. Participants (N=114) were recruited from a rural southeastern university (M age=20.27, SD=4.15). Frequency of CU was measured as past month days with use, IGD was measured by the Video Game Dependency Scale (VGDS; Rehbein et al., 2010). Eleven percent of the sample met criteria for probable IGD. The average frequency of past month CU was 7.26 days (SD=10.88). An independent samples t-test compared frequency of past-month CU among individuals with or without probable IGD. Individuals with probable IGD had decreased CU (M =2.25, SD=5.72). Those without probable IGD had increased CU (M=7.70, SD=2.25), t(107)=2.72, p=.012, d= 0.246. Our results are contrary to previous study findings on the co-occurrence of IGD and substance use. Frequent video gaming may act as a protective factor against increased frequency of CU. Future research should expand on this understudied area and further investigate whether IGD is in fact a protective factor or if the relation found here is accounted for by another unmeasurable variable.

Abstract:
Abstract. The advancement in information technology has contributed to growth in different industries. One such industry that has gained prominence in recent years is the gaming industry. The game industry today has become a major platform of entertainment, amassing a large community of players across the globe. As most people consider video game play only as a form of entertainment, the existential educational benefits are missed. While it is true that violent games could negatively affect the psychological health of its players, playing games right can contribute positively to the improvement of skills and academics. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between video game play, problem-solving, and academic performance on Information Technology (IT) students and to understand the kinds of video games that affect their problem-solving skills in their studies. A quantitative research method was used, collecting quantitative data from students of the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) of the University of Oulu through an online survey. The results of the study indicate that strategy and puzzle games significantly improve the problem-solving skills of students through analytical, logical, and creative thinking. The results of this study can be used in the future to investigate other phenomena such as how video games differently affect students with IT background from other students and how video games could be used as an effective educational tool for IT students.

The fierce competition in the video games market and new revenue models such as free-to-play emphasize the importance of good playability for first-time user experience and retention. Cost-effective and flexible evaluation methods such as heuristic evaluation is suitable for identifying playability problems in different phases of the game development life cycle. In this chapter we introduce the heuristic evaluation method with updated playability heuristics, present example studies on identifying playability problems in social network games, and propose new heuristics for evaluating free-to-play games.

Abstract:
In 2012, video gaming culture saw an interesting, paradoxical divergence. On one hand, game journalists and trade organizations testified that gaming had significantly diversified from its masculine roots, with women comprising nearly half of all gamers. On the other hand, gaming spaces witnessed increasing, public incidents of sexism and misogyny. Gaming Sexism analyzes the video game industry and its players to explain the roots of these contradictory narratives, how they coexist, and what their divergence means in terms of power and gender equality. Media studies scholar Amanda C. Cote first turns to video game magazines to assess how longstanding expectations for “gamers” are shifting, how this provokes anxiety in traditional audiences, and how these players resist change, at times employing harassment and sexism to drive out new audience members. She follows this analysis by interviewing female players, to see how their experiences have been affected by games’ changing environment. Interviewees reveal many persistent barriers to full participation in gaming, including overtly and implicitly sexist elements within texts, gaming audiences, and the industry. At the same time, participants have developed nuanced strategies for managing their exclusion, pursuing positive gaming experiences, and competing with men on their own turf. Thus, Gaming Sexism reveals extensive, persistent problems in achieving gender equality in gaming. However, it also demonstrates the power of a motivated, marginalized audience, and draws on their experiences to explore how structural inequalities in gaming spaces—and culture more broadly—can themselves be gamed and overcome.

Abstract:
Central to this paper is the analysis of a video sequence in which car mechanics try to solve a technical problem. The sequence is analyzed by means of Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and practical sense understood as a sociological reformulation of the phenomenological concept of intercorporeality. It is demonstrated that this sense implies two interrelated dimensions: It functions both as an embodied background foundation for functional problem-solving as well as a sense for social hierarchies. The cooperative solution of a technical problem opens up the stage for power games. In conclusion, the different ways are discussed in which the “twofold” interpretation of the video sequence allows for a specification of “intercorporeality”.

Abstract:
AbstractThe online platform is a platform of the future, both in the world and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. “The World Without a Label” is the first counseling center of this kind in BiH, because it brings together experts from behavioral, psychological, and psychiatric problems in one place. As a special problem of sociopolitical context is victims of sexual violence, war rape crimes. A case study shows a young boy is accompanied by a parent due to behavioral problems manifested by extremely bad social interaction with peers and for spending most of his free time on his computer playing video games. The boy’s mother had previously been treated in a psychiatric clinic’s day hospital, where she shared her own trauma of rape in group psychotherapy and the painful problems she faced in her early 20s, where Republika Srpska Army soldiers systematically raped captured Bosniaks. The father is a former member of the Bosnian army, and he himself had lot of war traumas. Experience in working in the Counseling Centers like this one, as well as with all the scientific and technological achievements, we have enabled the development of procedures for solving mental health problems through online platforms and standardization of those procedures.

Abstract:
As a result of rapid technological advancement, educators are turning to alternative pedagogy to instill valuable knowledge and transferable skills to their pupils. Esports and video games are being examined as a potential avenue. This research, backed by empirical data, explains how the content of particular games can indirectly teach players real-world skills and advanced academic concepts. Five different soft skills (responsibility, communication, teamwork, problem solving, leadership) and two core academic areas (mathematics, language arts) are examined using in-game elements of the following 12 video games/video game franchises as evidence to support claims of video games being a source of indirect education: Neopets; League of Legends; The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim; Overwatch; Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; Tetris; Portal; Fortnite; Assassin's Creed; World of Warcraft; No Man's Sky; and Spyro.

Abstract:
Video/digital games have grown into sophisticated, realistic, and engaging problem-solving virtual worlds that have their own literacy practices, affinity spaces, and online virtual communities. As a result, various studies have examined theirs to promote L2 learning and literacy. The findings of these studies suggest that digital games can promote multilingual communication, L2 vocabulary development, and situated L2 use. However, promising these findings, to-date little is known about the specific dynamics of gameplay that can facilitate L2 learning. To address this gap in the literature, this chapter will draw on interdisciplinary research on digital gaming from literacy studies, games' studies, and narratology to account for the L2 learning potentials of digital games. To explain their L2 learning potentials, the chapter will conceptualize digital games as dynamic texts, affinity spaces, and semiotic ecologies, and discuss the implications of each conceptualization for game-based L2 learning and teaching.

Abstract:
Due to its voluntary and unburdening character, game is an excellent medium for learning. Children learn through games, because on the basis of rules, settings and their own skills, they understand the existing and define new concepts and relations between them. The game meets one important requirement of education – straightening multiple skills at the same time. Learn- ing mathematics is a challenge for many students, so the game seem like a good solution to bring mathematics closer to students. Mathematical games encourage strategic thinking, problem solving and develop logical thinking. Combining play as a form of learning with ICT progress, computer games became a new teaching tool. Video games are a much better representative system for learning mathematics than symbolic representations on static pages of textbooks.

Abstract:
Recent years, video games have become one of the main forms of entertainment for people of all ages, in which millions of members publicly show their screenshots while playing games or share their experience of playing games [4]. Puzzle game is a popular game genre among various video games, it challenges players to find the correct solution by providing them with different logic/conceptual problems. However, designing a good puzzle game is not an easy task [5]. This paper designs a puzzle game for players of all age ranges with proper difficulty level, various puzzle mechanics and attractive background setting stories. We applied our games to different players to test play and conducted a qualitative evaluation of the approach. The results show that the pace of puzzle games affects play experience a lot and the difficulty level of the puzzles affects players' feelings to the game.

Abstract:
This paper describes the use and development of a mobile application as an aid for an introduction to programming class in C, for first year engineering students. One of the biggest problems in teaching programming, and in particular in C is the concept of memory allocation and pointers. To help visualizing these concepts we developed an application in the form of a video game that works on both Android and iOS devices. The paper is inspired Digital Game Based Learning (DGBL) pedagogical theory, studying the kind of learning that happens when playing computer and video games, how to use this medium as a tool for learning, and how to design games for learning. Research has shown benefits in using mobile applications to better engage students and help them learn at their own pace and levelWe did some preliminary performance testing on students from two different groups. One group of computer engineering students and another one of non-engineering majors, both groups learning to program, with no previous knowledge of programming, to evaluate the benefits of the application. The results of this test show that there is an improvement in the students understanding in C, and we also noted a very positive attitude of students toward using something as familiar to them as mobile phones to help them understand the material.

Abstract:
Background and objectives. Video game addiction (VGA) is characterized by a pattern of impaired control gaming behavior, prioritizing gaming over other daily activities and responsibilities. The rapid increases of the VGA rates worldwide advice the urge of new studies focused on examining the existence of differences in the phenotype of patients treatment-seeking due the problematic video game use. Method. Sample comprised n=107 participants recruited at the Pathological Gambling Outpatients Unit of the Bellvitge University Hospital (Barcelona). Mean age was 24.1 yrs-old (SD=10). Most participants were men (91.6%), single (88.8%) and into mean-low to low social position indexes (84.1%). Two-step clustering analysis explored empirical latent groups based on a broad set of indicators, including sociodemographic, psychopathological state and personality traits. Results. Two exclusive groups emerged. Cluster 1 (labeled as moderate maladaptative functioning, n=72, 66.1%), was composed mainly by single, unemployed men, with the younger age of onset, the earlier onset of the video game problematic use, the shorter progression of the problems, better psychopathological state and more functional personality traits. Cluster 2 (labeled as severe maladaptative functioning, n=35, 32.7%), included a higher proportion of not-single and employed women, with an older age, a later onset and a longer duration of the video game related problems, worse psychopathological state and more dysfunctional personality profile. Conclusion. VGA is a heterogeneous group with regard to gambling phenotypes. The identification of the diverse latent classes provide empirical evidence contributing to the conceptualization of this behavioral addition, as well as for developing reliable and valid screening tools and effectiveness intervention plans focused on the precise characteristics of the patients.
