Abstract

Odstupajuće ponašanje u online video igrama, popularno zvanim i toksičnim ponašanjem ili flamingom u igrama, višedimenzionalna je i raširena pojava. Ovim se kvalitativnim istraživanjem, koristeći metodu polu strukturiranog intervjua, nastoji steći uvid u iskustva adolescenata sa odstupajućim ponašanjem, istovremeno istražujući i doživljajne aspekte fenomena. Naslanjajući se na model socijalnog identiteta kod čimbenika deindividuacije (SIDE), istražili su se i načini na koje adolescenti dijele, ili pak sakrivaju svoj identitet, te prikazale njihove preporuke za sigurno i odgovorno igranje. Mladi su iskusili gotovo sve oblike odstupajućeg ponašanja te prepoznaju negativne posljedice doživljavanja istog, suosjećaju sa napadnutim igračima i koriste različite strategije za suočavanje sa uznemirujućim situacijama. Osim toga, uočavaju negativnu percepciju djevojaka u online igrama, a informacije o svojem identitetu dijele namjerno i nenamjerno, trudeći se zaštiti one podatke koji mogu dovesti do njihove identifikacije. Pri planiranju aktivnosti na ovom području, čini se izrazito važnim polaziti od afirmativne perspektive, koristeći potencijal mladih igrača u kontekstu vršnjačke podrške.

Abstract (english)

Transgressive behavior in online video games, popularly known as toxic behaviour or flaming, is a a multidimensional and widespread phenomenon. This qualitative research, based on semi-structured interviews, seeks to gain insight into the personal accounts of transgressive behaviour of adolescents, simultaneously exploring experiential aspects of the phenomenon. Leaning on the social identity model for deindividuation effects (SIDE), the ways in which adolescents share or hide their identity were also explored, and their recommendations for safe and responsible gaming were presented. Adolescents have experienced almost all forms of transgressive behavior and they recognize the negative consequences of those experiences. They sympathize with the attacked players and use different coping strategies to deal with upsetting situations. They also recognize a negative view of women in online gaming, and share information about their identity both intentionally and unintentionally, trying to protect the data that can lead to their identification. When planning activities in this area, it seems extremely important to start from an affirmative perspective, using the potential of young players in the context of peer support.
