Psychological Readings on Games and Culture explores the relationship between games, human behaviour, and social dynamics through a psychological lens. The book presents a series of studies examining how different games intersect with identity, relationships, and well-being.
Topics include an evaluation of the subjective well-being of young people who use money cheats in The Sims while experiencing poverty in everyday life; an analysis of gender roles in PUBG: Battlegrounds; an examination of sibling rivalry through Bubble Trouble; and a study of the relationship between the card game Okey and marital satisfaction.
Through these case studies, the book offers psychological insights into how games both reflect and influence real-world emotions, relationships, and cultural values.
