I used to be a heavy gamer when i was younger (especially RPGs like Mass Effect, Gothic 1-2, Elex, etc), and back then I wish I’d had more control over my gaming habits so I could have focused more on my goals in other areas (school, social life, etc.). I am now a psychology student and have the privilege of writing my master’s thesis on the very interesting topic of the psychology of gaming.

In this study you will find a simple training that includes several behavioral psychology mechanisms to gain better control over ur gaming habits. From the comfort of your home, no meetings/face-to-face contact needed, you will stay anonymous throughout the study.

If you’re struggling with the following or similar issues—or are at least aware of them—then this training is perfect for you:

• Are you neglecting other areas of your life (social life, school/college/work, etc.) because of your gaming habits?
• Did you just want to unwind a bit by gaming, but find that you can’t really stop anymore?
• Do you often find yourself thinking about your next video game while you’re doing something completely different?

Does this sound familiar? "Not on my watch!"

I have kindly received permission from a moderator to promote the following study on this forum as part of my master’s thesis at Friedrich-Alexander-University in Erlangen/Nuremberg (bavaria/Germany):

I used to be a heavy gamer (I started roughly 25 years ago, Gothic 1 was my first 3D-Game and I was hooked immediately), and back then I wish I’d had more control over my gaming habits so I could have focused more on my goals in other areas (school, social life, etc.). I am now a psychology student and have the privilege of writing my master’s thesis on the very interesting topic of the psychology of gaming.

This study involves simple behavioral training and aims to identify effective strategies that, in future studies, will enable especially children and adolescents to better balance their gaming with the other demands of daily life.

Of course, these behavioral psychological mechanisms also apply to adults and can help you develop a more mindful approach to gaming and improve your well-being.

Just study the brief information of the attached flyer. You can find more detailed info in the link or the QR-code, which will lead you to a short registration survey (about 3-5 min).

This is my own project, and I have to recruit most of my study participants outside of university on my own. Your participation would be a huge help to me and, of course, support the study field.

(Important disclaimer: You will remain completely anonymous throughout the entire study (you simply register with an active email address so that I can send the follow-up questionnaire to all participants at the same time for a before-and-after comparison). You’ll complete the training entirely from home; no Zoom meetings or face-to-face contact is required, and German data protection is guaranteed—your survey data will be stored exclusively on the survey platform www.soscisurvey.de, which is certified for thesis research.)

Unfortunately my flyer is not shown here temporarily, so if you have any questions regarding the study process, you will find my university contact information in the registration survey above.

Thank you very much, Hedgehog
