INTRODUCTION
Very little is known about women who persist in competitive gaming environments and their unique characteristics. Thus, the current study aims to provide an initial portrait of these women.
METHODS
A subsample of 128 female gamers, selected from a larger internet survey, completed an online questionnaire assessing sociodemographic factors, gaming experience, motives to play, and mental health variables. Self-reported expert gamers were compared to casuals on these variables. Then, a backward logistic regression allowed to identify the best predictors of being an expert gamer.
RESULTS
Experts reported higher gaming involvement and higher levels of specific gaming motives. Experts also tended to engage in specific game types and to report more positive outcomes than casuals. Finally, gaming involvement, competition motive, self-esteem, and game genre were the best predictors of group membership.
DISCUSSION
This study highlighted several unique characteristics of female expert gamers, suggesting an important role of personal and environmental strengths, gaming involvement, and gender representation.
引言
对于持续参与竞技游戏环境的女性及其独特特征，我们知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在初步描绘这些女性的形象。
方法
从一项规模更大的网络调查中选取128名女性游戏玩家作为子样本，她们完成了一份在线问卷，评估社会人口学因素、游戏体验、游戏动机和心理健康变量。在这些变量上，将自我报告的专家级玩家与普通玩家进行比较。然后，通过向后逻辑回归来确定成为专家级玩家的最佳预测因素。
结果
专家级玩家报告了更高的游戏参与度和更高水平的特定游戏动机。专家级玩家也倾向于参与特定类型的游戏，并且比普通玩家报告更多积极结果。最后，游戏参与度、竞争动机、自尊和游戏类型是群体成员身份的最佳预测因素。
讨论
本研究突出了女性专家级玩家的几个独特特征，表明个人和环境优势、游戏参与度以及性别代表性具有重要作用。
