Abstract
The paper presents the players' implicit views on psychological aspects of a supposable influence of computer/online/video-games on human beings. And online survey with 74 Likert-type questions were given to adults and older adolescents (16+). The collected replies (N=437) were grouped into an eight-factor model. The key implicit representations include the participants' belief that gaming: (1) leads to positive self-development, (2) affects the players' somatics, i.e. causes tiredness and stresses while gaming and in an after-game period, (3) brings pleasing feelings while gaming, (4) stimulates cognitive processes, and (5) supports players' relaxation and gives pleasure. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
