Maladaptive daydreaming, self-concept clarity, and gaming disorder symptoms assessed through DSM-5 and ICD-11
The present study tested a model proposing a pathway from maladaptive daydreaming (MD) and low self-concept clarity (SCC) to Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) symptoms, mediated by fantasy and escape motives. Using a sample of 300 adolescent and young adult gamers (M = 18.26; SD = 2.84; 48% female), the structural equation models showed a good fit to the data regardless of the diagnostic criteria applied (i.e. DSM-5 or ICD-11 guidelines). However, w…

Drawing on psychoanalytic theories – such as Freudian conceptualizations, Lacan's notion of lack, Winnicott…
“Masked dissociation”
Developing an intense player-avatar relationship and feeling disconnected by the physical body
The literature suggests that alexithymia and emptiness could be risk factors for various addictive behaviors. The present study developed and tested a model that proposes a pathway leading from emptiness and difficulties in identifying emotions to Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) symptoms via an intense gamer-avatar relationship and bodily dissociative experiences. A sample of 285 (64.2% M; mean age = 30.38 ± 7.53) online gamers using avatar-based …
The Role of Perfectionistic Self-Presentation and Problematic Instagram Use in the Relationship Between Self-Concept Clarity and Body Disconnection
By combining authors who hypothesized that modern technology has greatly increased people's ability and people's possibility to distance themselves from their embodied awareness and those who have shown that communication through social media is more congenial to people with a tendency towards perfectionistic self-presentation (PSP), this study analyses the influence of self-concept clarity (SCC) in bodily dissociation (BD) and hypothesize s that…
