Abstract


The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among different types of digital games and rolefulness. We hypothesized that the sense of rolefulness increases through collaborative game playing and the effect is different among the types of games. Four categories—“individual”, “competitive”, “cooperative”, and “non-player”—are assumed in this study, and the rolefulness scores were compared among these groups. The social and internal rolefulness scores were compared among the four groups using ANOVA. The results of the analysis showed significant differences. Multiple comparisons showed significant differences between the “competitive” and “non-player” categories in social and internal rolefulness.
