Abstract

Video igre postale su dio naše svakodnevice. Milijuni igrača igraju video igre na računalima,
konzolama i mobitelima, a industrija video igara razvija nove realnije igre uz pomoć sve
naprednije tehnologije. Ovaj pregled istraživanja fokusira se na pozitivne i negativne utjecaje
igranja video igara. Mnoga istraživanja ukazuju na negativne posljedice igranja video igara
kao npr. probleme prekomjernog igranja, socijalne otuđenosti igrača, agresivnog ponašanja te
mnogobrojnih zdravstvenih i psiholoških problema. Uz negativne, istraživanja ukazuju i na
pozitivne strane igranja video igara kao što su korištenje video igara u edukativne i terapijske
svrhe, poboljšanje kognitivnih, logičkih te perceptivno-motoričkih sposobnosti. Također,
pregledom istraživanja na ovu temu ukazano je i na individualne razlike igrača, u osobinama
ličnosti i demografskim razlikama.
