While the activity of playing have grown in popularity in the last decades, game studies mainly investigated digital games and the human behavior while interacting with this specific medium rather than on the activity itself. Our goal was to study players and players’ behaviour independently from the medium, device or game with which the activity is carried on. To this goal, we designed on online survey in which many forms of playing have been investigated, including digital, live, traditional and role-playing, but with an emphasis on the common aspects rather than on differences. The survey was compiled by 1905 italian participants. Here we present the data regarding playing habits, motivations, social aspects and gender issues.

Abstract

While the activity of playing have grown in popularity in the last decades, game studies mainly investigated digital games and the human behavior while interacting with this specific medium rather than on the activity itself. Our goal was to study players and players’ behaviour independently from the medium, device or game with which the activity is carried on. To this goal, we designed on online survey in which many forms of playing have been investigated, including digital, live, traditional and role-playing, but with an emphasis on the common aspects rather than on differences. The survey was compiled by 1905 italian participants. Here we present the data regarding playing habits, motivations, social aspects and gender issues.
