Abstract

Despite the growing popularity of esport, few research can be found in the specific area of the competitive nature of playing video games. More precisely, the research is mostly still of a qualitative and exploratory character. Bearing in mind that esport has been systematically attracting players (and spectators) in Serbia for a decade, and so far there is no research in Serbian on this topic in the field of (sport) psychology, the aim of this paper is to provide a concise systematic overview of previous research, with reference to existing methodological limitations and relevant psychological variables. This would help to define more clearly the boundaries between esport players, traditional athletes, and problematic players.

Highlights

Despite the growing popularity of esport, few research can be found in the specific area of the competitive nature of playing video games
Suprotno intuiciji, pregled dosadašnje literature sugeriše da je granica mnogo nejasnija kada je u pitanju poređenje sa tradicionalnim sportom, dok je, za razliku od gejminga, odnosno igranja video igara u svrhe zadovoljstva, primarna svrha igranja u esportu isticanje i napredak u igranju na osnovu igračevih veština (Pedraza-Ramirez et al, 2020)
Metodološka ograničenja aktuelnih empirijskih nalaza, ali i dijagnostičkih kriterijuma, su još uvek takva da onemogućavaju da se pomenuti problemi mogu nedvosmisleno označiti kao poremećaj zavisnosti, s jedne strane, ali i da takvi pokušaji dovode do sve veće, a neosnovane stigme i etiketiranja esportista, s druge strane

Summary

Introduction

Despite the growing popularity of esport, few research can be found in the specific area of the competitive nature of playing video games. Kako je poslednjih godina istraživački fokus na prekomernom igranju video igara koje može dovesti do značajnog funkcionalnog oštećenja i psiholoških tegoba za značajan broj igrača video igara, postaje sve nejasnije gde se esport nalazi u kontekstu problematičnog igranja video igara, uključujući poremećaje zavisnosti opisane u dijagnostičkim priručnicima
