A Neuroeducation Analysis of Videogames
2016
The reflections contained in this research work deal with the educational challenge launched by Neuroeducation theory and the other cultural and social phenomenon of videogames, which have become more than pure forms of entertainment and fun, more and more metaphors of the big game of the reality of life. Many studies say that video game play is beginning to threaten traditional home entertainment choices (especially television), posing a very real threat to other media revenue streams. The reasons for video games growth in sales and popularity can be credited to the growth in the popularity and the technical innovations in the mobile sector. Attempting to support videogames for education a…
Factors psicosocials rellevants en la violència de preadolescents i adolescents escolaritzats
2010
A pesar de la considerable evidència acumulada sobre els efectes de la violència en els mitjans, encara hi ha controvèrsia sobre el tema. La comunitat científica debat la influència de la TV i els videojocs en el comportament dels subjectes (vid. Kids, TV viewing, andaggressivebehavior, Science (Letters) 297, 49-50, 2002). Aquells que s'oposen al fet que la TV i els videojocs tenen influència sobre el comportament agressiu, defensen que la causalitat no es pot establir tan fàcilment, ja que als individus violents els agradarà més veure actes agressius en TV i que estiguen presents en els videojocs. En l'actual estudi realitzat amb escolars preadolescents i adolescents 'amb una grandària de …
Positive Effects of Videogame Use on Visuospatial Competencies: The Impact of Visualization Style in Preadolescents and Adolescents
2019
Use of videogames (VGs) is almost ubiquitous in preadolescents' and adolescents' everyday life. One of the most intriguing research topics about positive effects of VG use is about the domain of visuospatial competencies. Previous research show that training with videogames enables children and adolescents to improve their scores in visuospatial tests (such as mental rotation of shapes and cubes), and that such training could overcome gender differences in these domains. Our study aimed at (1) verifying the positive effects of videogame use in the visuospatial domain both for male and female adolescents and preadolescents and (2) verifying whether the visualization style (2D or isometric 3D…
Psychometric analysis of the Test of Dependence of Videogames (TDV) in Peruvian population
2017
Resumen El objetivo del presente trabajo es validar en población peruana, el Test de Dependencia de Videojuegos (TDV) (Chóliz & Marco, 2011). Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que se trata de una herramienta confiable y válida. Se encontró una sola estructura factorial, en lugar de cuatro dimensiones, como plantearon los autores del TDV. Este factor podría denominarse genéricamente: adicción a videojuegos, y podría servir como evidencia de la existencia de este trastorno, que coincidiría con el denominado ‘Trastorno de Juego por Internet’, que aparece en la Sección III del DSM-5. Los resultados hallados se discuten en relación a lo planteado por Chóliz y Marco (2011), en lo que se refiere…
La mente in gioco. Percorsi didattici tra Neuroeducation e Video Education
2015
Il gioco svolge una funzione preziosa in tutte le fasi della vita, in quanto fa emergere le peculiari eccellenze personali di ciascuno. Il libro di Giuseppa Compagno e di Giuseppa Cappuccio indaga la dimensione educativa del gioco a partire da due dall'ambito della Neuroeducation e quello della Video education rispetto a due distinti angoli visuali: il mondo dei videogame con il comune intento di porre in risalto le potenzialità della pratica ludica e le possibili applicazioni metodologiche dell’utilizzo del gioco in campo pedagogico-didattico. Il libro fornisce non solo alcuni spunti utili ad una ricognizione sul gioco nella prospettiva brain-based e nell’ambito della Video Education ma pr…
E-Sports y brecha de género: la percepción de las profesionales españolas
2019
The present paper aims to identify the causes of under-representation of women in E-sports. According to a genre perspective, interest in videogames at the amateur level is quite similar. However, in its professional level, female participation becomes very limited. The fact that physical effort is irrelevant (a requirement for ?traditional sports?) could be considered a variable that would negatively affect greater to equality in the conditions of access and participation of women in electronic sports. Against any predictions, the data on the presence of women are elocuent: few women, with much lower wages than men to remunerate same skills, and a general complaint by the female profession…

Geografia e game studies. Convergenze e opportunità
2021
L’interesse della Geografia verso le potenzialità disciplinari del videogioco si è manifestato più tardi rispetto alle altre scienze, ma ciò è coerente proprio con lo sviluppo e l’irruzione sulla scena di quegli elementi ritenuti interessanti proprio per l’analisi geografica. Il contributo intende valorizzare tutti gli elementi di interesse scientifico per la disciplina. Geography's interest in the disciplinary potential of the video game manifested itself later than in other sciences, but this is consistent with the development and the eruption on the scene of those elements considered interesting precisely for geographical analysis. The contribution intends to enhance all the elements of …
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in a sample of 5,979 Italian Online Gamers
2020
Background: The prevalence of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in the Italian population of gamers is unknown. Several risk factors, including time spent playing (TSP), are proposed as an epiphenomenon of emotional dysregulation. Methods: The study estimated the prevalence of IGD in at-risk Italian online gamers, and the interplay between alexithymia and other risk factors. 5,979 responders were surveyed. IGDS-SF9 estimated pathological gaming. TAS-20 measured Difficult in Identifying (DIF) and Describing Feelings (DDF), and Externally Oriented Thinking (EOT). Results: 43% of participants had pathological IGD scores. Male gender (OR=1.2, 95% C.I.=1, 1.5, p=0.019), TSP (OR=7.6, 95% C.I.=5.5, 1…
