The Gaming Persona It's All About the Game & How You Play It
For this episode, Dr. Gameology and Jenny review the variables being measured by a different motivation scale used by psychologists to understand gaming motivations. Metaphorical connections are shared relating to how we play Elden Ring from a place of confidence or from a place of fear. A special mention goes out to the moment Doc recites the lyrics to Triple H's entrance theme and what it has meant to him as a wrestling fan and as a therapist all of these years.
Finally, the episode reviews the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria for Video Game Disorder and connects this with a specific study that indicated being male and having school behavior issues are two significant risk factors in their analysis for fulfilling all three criteria for this mental health disorder. In true Gaming Persona fashion, Doc and Jenny continue to share life experiences on where these ideas work as well as in which situations they may not be accomplishing their overall goals of maintaining a health-centered world.
