The paper presents findings from a study investigating the impact of personality dimensions on consumer videogame engagement. 380 Gamers aged 16-19 years responded to a questionnaire to assess their personality dimensions and allow them to self-report on their experience with videogames.

鈥淥ur findings indicate that personality traits such as consciousness and extraversion impact consumer videogame engagement, whereas agreeableness, emotionality, openness-to-experience, and honesty-humility do not.鈥
