“…It gives an interesting hint for future experiment. It would be interesting to use and build a new questionnaire based on previous video game surveys [50], [51] to isolate more factors and understand the influence of video games on the detection threshold. Indeed, the main issue to calibrate a distortion is the high variability of the threshold.…”

In Virtual Reality, having a virtual body opens a wide range of possibilities as the participant's avatar can appear to be quite different from oneself for the sake of the targeted application (e.g. for perspective-taking). In addition, the system can partially manipulate the displayed avatar movement through some distortion to make the overall experience more enjoyable and effective (e.g. training, exercising, rehabilitation). Despite its potential, an excessive distortion may become noticeable and break the feeling of being embodied into the avatar. Past researches have shown that individuals have a relatively high tolerance to movement distortions and a great variability of individual sensitivities to distortions. In this paper, we propose a method taking advantage of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to efficiently identify the magnitude of the maximum distortion that does not get noticed by an individual (further noted the detection threshold). We show through a controlled experiment with subjects that the RL method finds a more robust detection threshold compared to the adaptive staircase method, i.e. it is more able to prevent subjects from detecting the distortion when its amplitude is equal or below the threshold. Finally, the associated majority voting system makes the RL method able to handle more noise within the forced choices input than adaptive staircase. This last feature is essential for future use with physiological signals as these latter are even more susceptible to noise. It would then allow to calibrate embodiment individually to increase the effectiveness of the proposed interactions.

“…Since no significant correlation has been found between the three scores, H3 is not validated. Indeed, thanks to all these results it may be interesting to do a new study with a more complete questionnaire about video game background (habit, exposure..) [50], [51].…”

“…Based on this, negative associations between physical self-concept and dream behaviour have been demonstrated (Hausberger, Pollak and Tran, 2016). In relation to these results, sleep quality was positively related to mental health and negatively to the intensity of video games, this being an important factor in sleep quality (Altintas, Karaca, Hullaert and Tassi, 2019;Yabe et al, 2018).…”

This study aims to examine gender differences according to physical-healthy habits, problematic use of video games and self-concept in Primary Education students in Granada. In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, 577 primary school students in Granada participated. The Questionnaire of Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) was used for the Mediterranean diet adherence variable, the Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Video Games (QERV) was applied to the problematic use of video games, and the self-concept, Five-Factor Self-Concept Questionnaire (AF-5) was used. In addition, the Body Mass Index (BMI) was measured and a self-registration sheet was used to record the age and gender of the individuals, daily hours of physical activity, hours of using digital screens and hours of sleeping. Main results and conclusions of the study, it should be noted that men have higher levels of regular physical activity, problematic use of video games, adherence to the Mediterranean diet and physical and family self-concept. While females show higher levels of body mass index and academic, social and emotional self-concept. Males showed that greater participation in physical-sports activities was associated with better adherence to the Mediterranean diet, levels of self-concept and fewer hours of sleep. In this sense, it should be noted that the females showed that the greater the practice of physical activity the lower the family self-concept. In addition, it was found that, in general, an adequate intake of the Mediterranean diet favours self-concept, while when this is low, the use of problematic video games is encouraged.

“…8 Bullying often occurs among game players because of their inability to play as good as others which can make it harder for other players and leads to insults, intimidation, getting kicked out from the game, 9 or having bad quality of sleep caused by decreased mental health status. 10 Physical problems that often occur are insomnia, cardiovascular problems, vision problems, pain on the wrist, and hyperactive. 11 Psychosocial problems such as stress, anxiety, indication of depression, and low life satisfaction can also be experienced.…”

Excessive online gaming can lead to physical health problems, including poor sleep quality, insomnia, cardiovascular diseases, as well as vision and wrist problems, while such psychosocial issues as stress, anxiety, depression, and decreasing levels of life satisfaction can also occur. This systematic review aims to determine the predisposing factors responsible for online gaming addiction to become reference in the prevention efforts. An article search was systematically conducted through ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, SAGE Publication, and EBSCOhost databases of 2015 – 2020 based on established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 14 articles identified using PRISMA guidelines fulfilled the requirements. The review of these articles found that the biological predisposing factors in online gaming addiction consist of dysfunctional impulsivity, male gender, and appetite. The psychological aspects include history of physical and verbal abuse and bullying, lack of attention, stress, anxiety, depression, low level of self-resilience, self-esteem issues, low self-control, low self-efficacy, low life expectancy, motivation, emotional intelligence, and attention from the environment. Meanwhile, the sociocultural aspects are social support and control, length of time and devices used to play online games, types of online games, vulnerable social relations, hyperactivity, dissociation, sensation seeking, adequate daily activities, and active participation in online gaming communities. Predisposing factors can become a protective factor as well as risk factor of individuals in online gaming addiction based on the applied coping mechanisms.
