How do you play online games ?
I am a psychology student in my fifth year of universities studies at Lille 3 (France). I am currently carrying out a study about characteristics and behaviors of online video game players, between french and english players. I'm looking for volunteers who wouldn't mind spending 10 minutes to answer this questionnaire.

This questionnaire will be validated if you answer all of the questions. If you fill this questionnaire, you agree that your answers will be anonymously collected and and analysed for research purposes.

If one or more questions bother you (sensible topic ou personal problem), you can close your navigator anytime to leave the survey. Thank you for your participation !
