The impact of digital practices on the perception of risks and benefits of digital gaming Aranda Juárez, Daniel Sánchez Navarro, Jordi Martínez Cerdá, Juan Francisco Meneses, Julio digital games game culture media effects media perceptions digital practices video games juegos digitales cultura del juego efectos de los medios de comunicación percepción de los medios de comunicación prácticas digitales videojuegos jocs digitals cultura del joc efectes dels mitjans de comunicació percepció dels mitjans de comunicació pràctiques digitals videojocs Mass media -- Influence Mitjans de comunicació de massa -- Influència Medios de comunicación de masas -- Influencia This study introduces a new multivariate framework around a set of digital practices such as entertainment-oriented uses, information-oriented uses, socialconnection uses and e-commerce uses, and shows that these digital practices are, in fact, important predictors of the positive and negative perceptions of digital gaming. We developed two multiple regression models on a representative sample of the Spanish population. After controlling for socio-demographic factors (age, gender and level of education), our models reveal that gaming-related perceptions of benefits and risks are associated with people's concrete personal experiences with digital games and, interestingly, to the greater or lesser development of their digital practices. We show that the perceptions of benefits with regard to video games are related to more developed digital practices. Conversely, the perceptions of risk are higher in the case of individuals who lack exposure and experiences regarding digital practices. info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Aranda Juarez, D., Sánchez-Navarro, J., Martínez-Cerdá, J.F. & Meneses, J.
