Stereotypes of Video gamers

[Arnock]

Hello,



I am currently conducting a research study which compares and contrasts the “stereotypical” gamer with reality. There have been numerous studies throughout the years comparing the habits and lifestyles of average gamers with average non-gamers, however, there has been limited research that compares the lifestyles of the avid gamer to the public perception of them.



As such, this study has two goals:

1. Quantify what the “stereotypical” avid video game player

2. determine if the public’s perception of avid gamers aligns with reality

A key part of my research will stem from this survey.



So, if anyone would like to help out, I would greatly appreciate it if you take 5-10 minutes of your time to fill out this survey.

Also, if you have any friends or family(particularly those who don't play a lot of games) who you think would be willing to fill this thing out, it would help out a LOT if you could pass this link along to them.


Thank you,

Arnock

I filled it out as an avid gamer.

Filled it out, hope it helps. One a side note, is 7 hours per week really classed as an avid gamer? I know I've made it to 20+ hours in a week because it was the week following exams and I was chilling to the max with little else to do. I consider that a lot, but I know people who put that figure to shame.

In the average week I play about an hour per day at night to chill after I'm done with my Uni work for the day. Team Fortress 2 is my usual game.

I filled it out as a non-gamer myself. I used to be a "semi-gamer" shall I say haha. I probably play games like 30 minutes a week these days... IF EVEN!!! Usually no game time. :/ I used to play like 10-15 hours a week though.
