Two Overwatch Player Profiles
2022
AbstractWe pursue Overwatch player profiles via a statistical cluster analysis of survey data from the UK (N = 1089) and the USA (N = 417). The profiles are based on the players’ activity, challenge, and experiential preferences as well as motivations. Our analytical process produces six esports player clusters, two of which with Overwatch. The first (OW1) plays mainly Overwatch and Fortnite on a console, and they enjoy diverse types of non-competitive play elements more than other esports players. The second cluster (OW2) plays mainly Overwatch and League of Legends on a PC, and despite appearing more “competitive”, they did not report more competitive preferences. We suggest that the alle…

Evolution de la perception sensorielle et des préférences alimentaires chez les personnes âgées : quel lien avec le statut nutritionnel ?
2012
Le processus de vieillissement, même lorsqu’il se déroule normalement, est associé à de nombreuses modifications d’ordre physiologiques (ralentissement du transit intestinal, du métabolisme basal, perte de dents, altérations des capacités chimiosensorielles), psychologiques (solitude, dépression, démence) et sociologiques (retraite, veuvage, déménagement…) susceptibles d’avoir un impact sur la prise alimentaire et le statut nutritionnel de la personne âgée. Au-delà de ces changements, l’apparition d’une dépendance pour l’alimentation, qui fait généralement suite à une perte d’autonomie de la personne (apparition d’une incapacité physique ou psychique, veuvage…), modifie en profondeur le rap…
Challenge Types in Gaming : Validation of Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA)
2020
Challenge is a key motivation for videogame play. But what kind of challenge types videogames include, and which of them players prefer? This article answers the above questions by developing and validating Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA), a psychometrically sound measurement for investigating players’ challenge preferences in videogames. Based on a comprehensive review of literature, we developed a 38-item version of CHA that was included in a social media user survey (N=813). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a latent structure of five challenge types: Physical, Analytical, Socioemotional, Insight, and Foresight. CHA was amended in another EFA with USA-based survey data (N…
Effect of Pulp Pigmentation Intensity on Consumer Acceptance of New Blood Mandarins: A Cross-Cultural Study in Spain and Italy
2022
One of the current objectives of different citrus breeding programmes is obtaining new pigmented mandarins. This study investigates to what extent consumer preferences, expectations and purchase intention are affected by the appearance of new mandarins, specifically pulp pigmentation intensity. Four hundred consumers from both Italy and Spain (800 in all) participated in the study. In each country, half were informed about the healthy properties of the anthocyanins responsible for red pulp colouration, while the other half were not. Italians more readily accepted new mandarin varieties than Spaniards, which was linked to them being more familiar with blood oranges. In Italy, both slight- an…
