Gameplay and Identity - MC502 Presentation
- 1. Gameplay and Identity - How is the gaming industry shaping our children's future? Student No: - 1100829
- 2. Gaming Affects Analysis Adachi and Willoughby (2013): - âcumulative effort over time to achieve a goal.â Gentile et al, (2004, p.6): - Stated that âteens who play violent video games for extended periods of time: See a decline in school achievements.â Positive Negative - Solve problems - Isolation - Educational - Withdrawal - Creativity - Ethical - Social - Social - Team Building - Depression - Intrinsic motivation - More Aggressive - Concentration/cognitive effort - Prone to confrontation with teachers
- 3. The Gaming Industry Is the gaming Industry to blame? Gagne (2001): - âopportunity to expose themselves to a variety of experiences without concern for the results of those actions. Doing so allows the individual to develop a core self, or identityâ.
- 4. âIn all moral panics, patterns emerge of how the media chooses to portray what society finds threatening, and what the panics mean in a larger societal context.â (Gagne, 2001). Cohen (2011,p.5) These facts reveal some vital images of Cohenâs theory of moral panic which is media intervention, theories of deviance amplification, âself- fulfilling propheciesâ. Moral Panics Continued âŠ
- 6. Stets and Burke (2008, p.130) states that a âcollection of a personâs self-conceptualisations and attribution of meanings to their self, usually with respect to a certain roleâ. Lawler (2008, p.40): - âIdentity Crisesâ. Does Identity Matter? Jenkins (2008,p5)
- 7. Identity Perspectives McDougall and OâBrien (2007) distinguish between two different affects. âPsychological view is where the perspective of the individuals minds, how immersed they are within a particular game.â âSociological approach looking at groups within society and how immersion can change from being an individualâs problem and leading to consequences within society.â
- 8. Gaming affect who we are and our identity!
- 9. Supporting Video Games Gee (2001) offers a critical perspective claiming that âgaming not only promotes team leadership but also critical thinkingâ. Ferguson (2013,p.62) âThe Stateâs evidence is not compelling. Dr. Anderson admitted that the effect sizes of childrenâs exposure to violent video games are âabout the sameâ. Same effects have been found when children watch âcartoons, or when they play video games like Sonic the Hedgehog even when they view a picture of a gun.â
- 10. Against Video Games Gentile & Anderson, (2003) violent video games may have even stronger effects on children's aggression because : - â(1) the games are highly engaging and interactive (2) the games reward violent behaviour, and because (3) children repeat these behaviours over and over as they play.â
- 11. Gaming Future â What does the future hold? Some claim the future of gaming has already arrived.

- 12. Gaming affects future and Identity In years to come will the gaming culture in todays society affect our own identity and transform us into something we are not?
- 13. Conclusion Does gameplay combined with identities, shape our childrenâs future?

Hinweis der Redaktion
- To begin with this argument we will look at both sides of the affects. (Reference and Discuss). Paul J. C. Adachi and Teena Willoughby Journal of Adolescent Research entitled âDo Video Games Promote Positive Youth Development?â Gentile, D. A., Lynch, P., Linder, J. & Walsh, D. (2004). The effects of violent video game habits on adolescent hostility, aggressive behaviors, and school performance
- The question posed is the gaming Industry to blame? Around the topic of affects is a very controversial debate. In recent time more and more violence has been created and shown throughout various media forms. Which, has lead to an almost ---- creating a moral panic in society. (REFERENCE). (Analyses reference both sides of the story.) It can said that people have been looking for an answer to why this is happening. This topic of discussion will now be delved into deeper. Looking at both sides of the spectrum. Moral Outrage : - BioShock - the iconic Big Daddy, you could either free the girl from her ADAM parasite, thus âsavingâ her, or you could âharvestâ her (basically you rip the slug out o her) which gave you more ADAM to use (thus making fights significantly easier) at the cost of the girlâs life.Pundits and critics (double yawn) jumped all over this gameplay element, describing it as a callous method of developing your character, using the life of a young girl to save yourselfRead more at http://whatculture.com/gaming/10-idiotic-moral-panics-caused-by-awesome-video-games.php#BTAWFL4D2ihQfTb2.99 Gagne â form of escapism - psychosocial moratorium - In general, the game D&D moral panic existed in a sort of philosophy that the lack of real world consequences permit players to experiment with criminal acts and display tendencies that, in the real world, would be repressed.The media presentation of D&D is most of the time nagative and misleading. As regarding to the definition of the game, newspapers rarely used the words âheroâ or âstoryâ as introduced by the TSR of the describtion of the game. Rather, they often mentioned the game as an unrestricted gameplay ,freedom to control evil characters. more focused on evil than it really was.
- Delving deeper into this discussion we will now look at the identity side and apply this to affects to balance the argument. We all have differentStets, J. E. and Burke, P.J. (2008) A Sociological Approach to Self and Identity, in Mark Leary and June Tangney (Eds.), Handbook of Self and Identity, Guilford Press, 128-152, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vafgWfgxUK8C&pg=PA128&lpg=PA128&dq=A+Sociological+Approach+to+Self+and+Identity+Stets.+and+Burke&source=bl&ots=re8hHznKcO&sig=QMJ88UY_6nSMN3L0HO8Bqj3bCyg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=wbWGUYrJIsiTPYnrgZgG&ved=0CEkQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=A%20Sociological%20Approach%20to%20Self%20and%20Identity%20Stets.%20and%20Burke&f=false (Accessed: 1 May 2013). Jenkins tries to justify what an identity is! â âitâs a processâ â p5 â something one does. â do not have a clear picture of the relation between emotion and identity â p6 â emotion appears to be bound up with identification - typically through attachment â p6 â emotion influence action

- Parents have an important role to play. Psychologists have found that when parents limit the amount of time as well as the types of games their children play, children are less likely to show aggressive behaviors (Anderson et al., under review; Gentile et al., 2004). Other research suggests that active parental involvement in children's media usage-including discussing the inappropriateness of violent solutions to real life conflicts, reducing time spent on violent media, and generating alternative nonviolent solutions to problems-all can reduce the impact of media violence on children and youth (Anderson et al., 2003).http://www.apa.org/research/action/games.aspx
- Drs. Anderson and Gentile's research shows that children are spending increasing amounts of time playing video games - 13 hours per week for boys, on average, and 5 hours per week for girls (Anderson, Gentile, & Buckley, under review; Gentile, Lynch, Linder, & Walsh, 2004). A 2001 content analyses by the research organization Children Now shows that a majority of video games include violence, about half of which would result in serious injuries or death in the 'real' world. Children often say their favorite video games are violent. What is the result of all this video game mayhem?Dr. Anderson and colleagues have shown that playing a lot of violent video games is related to having more aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (Anderson & Bushman, 2001). Furthermore, playing violent games is also related to children being less willing to be caring and helpful towards their peers. Importantly, research has shown that these effects happen just as much for non-aggressive children as they do for children who already have aggressive tendencies (Anderson et al., under review; Gentile et al., 2004).http://www.apa.org/research/action/games.aspx
- The question what does the furture hold can be seen as a worrying aspect to many lookers in on this debate. What does the future hold? One thing that is for certain at this point in time we can only assume what may be.!
