“…Players at the national level have generally had greater success and reputation as a result of participating at the national level, representing their nation, and frequently receiving praise from the public and media. (Sibilla et al, 2021) [13] . National-level athletes feel more confident about themselves since they are part of a select group of athletes who have achieved remarkable success on a national level, which is reinforced by this increased degree of recognition and achievement.…”

Self-Esteem is the result of a self-evaluation process that includes self-judgment. Self-esteem is an attitude that people have about themselves that is influenced by culture, family, society, and interpersonal connections. Achievement motivation is described as a method for someone to acquire or display high ability in one of two ways: by making reference to their own performance or level of mastery, or by making reference to how they stand in relation to others. The purpose of the study was to compare the Self-Esteem and Achievement Motisvation among various levels of Volleyball Players. Fifteen (15) District level Volleyball players and Fifteen (15) State level volleyball players were chosen for this investigation. The subjects for this study were chosen at random and ranged in age from 18 to 25 years old, with a level of significance of 0.05. To measure the Self-Esteem between District and State level volleyball players, a questionnaire developed by Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was employed and to measure Sports Achievement Motivation between District and State level volleyball players, a questionnaire developed by M. L. Kamlesh (1990) Sports Achievement Motivation Test (SAMT) and for statistical analysis and interpretation of data mean, standard deviation and 't' test was conducted. The result shows that there was significant difference in Self-Esteem between the district and state-level Volleyball players and also there was significant difference in Achievement motivation between the district and state-level Volleyball players.

“…These findings suggest that the different nature of engagement in playing video games is an important factor in whether this activity positively or negatively affects adolescents' academic performance and schoolwork. Sibilla et al (2021) found that increased time spent playing video games was a characteristic of obsessive involvement, but not of harmonious involvement in playing video games. Thus, time spent playing video games may be related to motivation for playing video games, but this depends on whether there is an obsessive or harmonious passion for playing video games.…”

“…The two types of passion for gaming have been linked to different patterns of time spent playing (e.g., Lafrenière et al, 2009;Sibilla et al, 2021), so time spent playing on a typical school day may mediate the relationship between obsessive passion for gaming and behavioral school engagement. After all, spending time in one activity, regardless of other obligations, means less time for other activities.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of harmonious and obsessive passion for playing video games with behavioral school engagement, and to determine whether these two types of passion are indirectly related to behavioral school engagement through time spent playing video games. Data for this correlational, on-line study were collected from a convenience quota sample of 568 high-school students (55.5% boys) between 14 and 19 years old (M = 15.89; SD = 1.16). Participants self-reported their passion for playing video games, the amount of time they spent playing video games, and their behavioral school engagement. Path analysis showed that both harmonious and obsessive passion exerted direct effects on behavioral school engagement, as well as indirect effects through time spent playing video games. Higher harmonious passion was directly related to higher school engagement, but it was also indirectly related to lower school engagement because of its association with more time spent playing video games. In contrast, higher obsessive passion was related to lower school engagement both directly as well as indirectly through its association with more time spent playing. The results are discussed in the context of the dualistic model of passion.

“…Time spent on an activity is thus a core marker of passion. Indeed, gaming studies have consistently shown that individuals who have a passion for gaming tend to spend more time gaming (Marsh et al, 2013; Sibilla et al, 2021). Therefore, we hypothesize:Hypothesis Passion for gaming relates positively to the number of hours people spend on gaming.…”

Integrating the dualistic model of passion in the recovery literature, the present study investigates how playing video games after work hours can facilitate recovery from work stress. We predicted that passion for gaming would relate to gaming more hours in the evening. Next, we hypothesized that playing video games in the evening would relate to (a) feeling recovered the next morning through psychological detachment and (b) feeling vigorous the next morning through mastery experiences while gaming. We further hypothesized that harmonious passion would strengthen, and obsessive passion would weaken the links between gaming hours and (a) psychological detachment and (b) mastery. In total, 65 employees filled in short questionnaires in the mornings and evenings of at least five workdays (total n = 502). Results of multilevel hierarchical regression analyses supported the proposed mediation model, indicating that playing video games indeed helps replenish energy resources during leisure time. Findings additionally showed that gaming also predicted feeling recovered in the morning through mastery experiences. Players with a harmonious passion may benefit more from playing video games; harmonious (but not obsessive) passion strengthened the relationship between gaming and mastery experiences.
