Τα βιντεοπαιχνίδια στην καθημερινή ζωή των παιδιών

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how video games are used and why children choose to play them. The research was based on a random sample of 255 schoolchildren from two age-groups, 11-12 and 14-15. The results of this study bring forward the extensive use of video games which become in integral part of a child's environment, particularly for boys. The two categories of video games for which children show a preference are games of action and adventure - fun-tasty. In video games children seek pleasure and entertainment, escape into an imaginary world, and relaxation, as well as active participation and the sense of superiority that derives from attaining their objective.
