Resumo

Introdução: Tem-se postulado que a personalidade influencia parcialmente os comportamentos relacionados ao uso de videogames. Esta pesquisa examinou a relação entre a personalidade normal e diferentes variáveis de uso de videogames em uma amostra de gamers argentinos. Método: Trabalhou-se com uma amostra de 197 gamers e uma amostra adicional de 91 não-gamers. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários ad hoc, da Escala de Experiência Gamer e do Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores de Personalidade. Resultados: Não foram encontradas diferenças nos traços de personalidade entre gamers e não-jogadores, nem relação entre a personalidade e o número de horas de uso de videogames. Aqueles que apresentaram maior abertura à experiência relataram um maior desempenho autopercebido no jogo, e os que tinham maior extroversão interagiram mais com outros jogadores. Não foram observadas diferenças nos traços de personalidade segundo a preferência por jogos hardcore ou casuais. Observou-se que maior responsabilidade se associou a menos experiências tanto negativas quanto positivas no uso de videogames, enquanto maior abertura à experiência esteve relacionada a mais experiências positivas. Os achados reforçam a necessidade de controlar estatisticamente variáveis como gênero e idade, dado o seu impacto nos resultados. Conclusões: Conclui-se que não existe um perfil de personalidade distinto que diferencie os gamers dos não-jogadores. Além disso, em contraste com estudos anteriores, o neuroticismo não emergiu como um traço chave nos comportamentos de uso de videogames. Por sua vez, a responsabilidade mostrou um papel relevante na modulação das experiências de jogo, e a abertura à experiência destacou-se como o principal preditor das experiências positivas e do desempenho autopercebido no jogo.
