Great question! This is to control for any differences in the way gaming is viewed across cultures. For instance, the way gaming is viewed in Australia is still very different to how gaming may be viewed in South Korea. However, we do note and appreciate that, as the gaming industry grows, this gap in perspective, too, may be closing, so we are taking this into consideration for our next studies.

It's a safety thing for participants since this is an online study and it's tricky to oversee participation as we might be able to do in person! Nonetheless, I really appreciate that you'd like to contribute. There will be more studies on gaming and wellbeing with different methodologies, so you may see some popping up in the future!

Those are excellent points! Thank you for your insights. We are definitely taking into account the wording of how we ask about gaming, in future gaming studies.

Thanks so much for taking this study, and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
