Continuing from last week, this week’s reading task involved building upon the already established list of articles collected. I now have several solid articles relating to my chapter topic of the “Psychology of why people are playing games”
This week my focus was to work more on understanding specific psychological terms relating to why people are playing games, delved more into the topics underlined below:
Direct causes of gaming on psychological wellbeing
Pathological factors involved in gaming
What is internet gaming disorder?
Why do individuals continue to play games?
Gaming addiction
At this stage in my research the quality and number of articles that I am sourcing are beginning to come more limited, the more defined my chapter topic is becoming by researching articles, the less material there is out there to support the claims.
I used
the three-pass method and my review matrix to sort and analyse each paper to
assess its validity. So far, I am finding
this method of research and reviewing articles quite useful I have been able to
critically assess each article in detail and can now decide which articles that I
will want to use and the exact direction I want to take when it comes to writing
my chapter.

Hey Karen,
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed with your blog and the work you've done so far. You have a really good grasp on what your topic is and what you want to get from it, and that shows with your annotations and matrix that you've linked in the post. Keep up the good work!
