Thank you, Dr. Stabb, for helping me tackle this beast and get it done! I would also like to thank my committee for being supportive and flexible, for working with me as allies, and for helping to improve the quality of my project. To Dr. Jeff Harris, thank you for modeling authenticity, for imparting your expertise as a clinician, and for pushing me to expand my thinking about my hypotheses. To Dr. Pyland, thank you for believing in me, for nudging me towards regarding myself more as an early professional rather than a subordinate, and for your flexibility and support. To Dr. Marshall, thank you for being you. You are unique, thoughtful, and quick-witted, and enjoyed immensely any time I was able to spend working with you and talking with you. Second, I want to thank my family. My parents instilled in me a thirst for knowledge, and have provided support to me in whatever ways they were able, big or small. Thank you mom and dad, I love you. To my siblings who also supported me throughout this process, thank you for your guidance, advice, and support. I couldn’t have done this without you. iv Third, I would like to thank my friends who helped me with the nitty-gritty work of completing my dissertation. Thank you to everyone who re-posted my study to social media, read and edited chapters for me, and, most importantly, provided me emotional support during the many times I questioned my ability and resolve to complete this task. Thank you for believing in me, and buoying me when I thought I would sink. To Nelly Dixon: thank you for always being there for a phone call, walk, talk, or trip. To Kayla Downing and Amanda Gray: thank you for reading and editing, for the awesome pep talks, and for cutting a path worthy of following.

Dr. Scott has rooted for me and advocated for me, both as a professor and as an administrator, and is a phenomenal instructor. Dr. Scott’s incredible store of and love of learning and her confident and assertive demeanor are an inspiration to me. Thank you. v ABSTRACT ELIZABETH GIBBONS MASCULINITY, GAMING, FRIENDSHIP AND INTIMACY, AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY: A COMPARISON OF MEN IN VIRTUAL AND OFFLINE DOMAINS AUGUST 2017 The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible relationships between masculinity, gaming, friendship/intimacy, and sense of community in online versus offline contexts. A total of 201 men who self-identified as gamers completed the survey. The participant pool was largely young, White, single, middle-class, heterosexual, and educated. Self-identified gamers were recruited via use of undergraduate students who volunteered for course credit and advertisements posted to social media and gaming- related websites. Participants were given a demographic and gaming questionnaire, followed by the Gender Role Conflict scale (O’Neil, Helms, Gable, David, & Wrightsman, 1986), the Miller Social Intimacy scale (modified to measure friend groups online and offline; Miller & Lefcourt, 1982), the Sense of Community Index-2 (Chavis, Lee, & Acosta, 2008), and the Sense of Virtual Community measure (Blanchard, 2007). Canonical correlations, Pearson correlations, z-tests, multiple regressions, and a two- factor repeated MANOVA were run to test hypotheses. Results showed that as gender role conflict increased, so did sense of community offline and friendship and intimacy vi with offline friends. The researchers found that the relationship between masculinity and friendship and intimacy with offline friends was stronger than between masculinity and sense of friendship and intimacy with online friends. Men with higher masculinity scores also demonstrated stronger relationships among friendship and intimacy and sense of community with their offline friends than with their online friends. The results of this study suggest that friendship and community may be more strongly related to masculinity than was previously thought. The present study’s results also challenge negative associations between masculinity and gaming, and suggest that masculinity may not play a consistent role in online interactions and relationships. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page COPYRIGHT ......................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ....................................................................................... iv ABSTRACT. ........................................................................................................... vi LIST OF TABLES ................................................................................................. .xi LIST OF FIGURES. ............................................................................................... xii Chapter I.

  • Gaming Scenarios: Making Sense of Diverging Developments
    DOI:10.6531/JFS.2017.22(2).A15 ARTICLE .15 Gaming Scenarios: Making Sense of Diverging Developments Sascha Dannenberg Freie Universität Berlin Germany Nele Fischer Freie Universität Berlin Germany Abstract This article introduces Huizinga’s notion of the Homo Ludens as theoretical framework to gaming approaches in Futures Studies. This understanding of games as social functions, simultaneously representing reality and creating social structures, is then discussed in relation to scenario techniques. Finally, a scenario project from Berlin, Germa- ny is presented as case study, showing how gaming scenarios can engage participants in playfully thinking about and experimenting with futures. Keywords: Experiential foresight, Card game, Homo Ludens, Gaming, Scenario. Introduction Experiential Turn in Futures Studies What Futures Studies is (or should be) has been discussed along a divide between analytical and creative approaches right from the beginning (see e.g. Masini, 1993; Marien, 2002; Bell, 2003). Futures Studies would be understood either as science or as art, while many considered both approaches as being incompatible (see e.g. de Jouvenel, 1967; Bell 2003). However, in recent years the so-called experiential turn1 became prominent within Futures Studies. Experiential foresight combines analytical, creative and experimental approaches. It is based mostly on methods and techniques of interactive play (theatre, board games), experimental research (modeling, design), and different forms of immersive visualization (interactive videos, virtual reality) (Daheim, 2015). The development of experiential foresight can be seen within a context of changing demands on research in general and on Futures Studies in particular: For example, there is a rising emphasis on tangible outcomes as well as a stronger focus on motivation and realization of shared images of the future through stakeholder Journal of Futures Studies, December 2017, 22(2): 15–26 Journal of Futures Studies engagement (Daheim, 2015).

My love of reading began at the age of ten when my dad handed me the book Ender’s Game, and I became immersed in the psychology of a child my age playing the war games of adults. I fortified my love of writing when my friends humored me and read my angsty, teenage poetry and told me they liked it—they were being kind to say the least.

It has added new material, developed a new archive, website, film and computer game prototype, and investigated the connections between the vernacular lore of the playground and children’s media cultures in the digital age. The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, under the Beyond Text programme (www. beyondtext.ac.uk), and has the support of Iona Opie and of Michael Rosen, the former Children’s Laureate. The project can claim to have met the aims of Beyond Text by developing significant new insights into the meaning and value of children’s games: how they are played, learnt, passed on, researched, recorded, archived and exhibited in the age of new media. While the project builds on the pioneering work of the Opies, and re-presents their audio recordings for new and old audiences, it also extends and adds to the body of work which they and others have carried out over the last century.

  • I Don't Take Kindly to Your Invasion of This Fine Gaming Culture”: Gender, Emotion, and Power in Digital Gaming Spaces As Demonstrated Through Dead Island
    “I DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO YOUR INVASION OF THIS FINE GAMING CULTURE”: GENDER, EMOTION, AND POWER IN DIGITAL GAMING SPACES AS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH DEAD ISLAND Nicole D. Reamer A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2015 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Lara M. Lengel Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine Blair Sandra Faulkner © 2015 Nicole D. Reamer All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor My dissertation focuses on intersections of gender, power, and emotion in different digital spaces, specifically video game-related spaces. I’m predominantly concerned with ways in which gender operates in the video gaming subculture in such a way that it can elicit a range of strong emotions that are often skirted or even neglected in academic studies of the medium. My primary focus is on a triangulation of visual and qualitative content analysis with participant observation to examine the different ways in which power and emotion manifest around the female body. Two of these areas include the different ways players, viewers, audiences, whatever one would call a person who comes into contact with the visual components of a video game, interact with playable- and non-playable video game characters. Additionally, I focus on digital non-gaming space interactions, such as those in discussion boards or popular media article comment sections. The entire dissertation is structured from a critical feminist perspective and uses the video game Dead Island (2011) as an anchor to ground the discussion. iv To all the feminist gaming scholars who came before me.

    profile max martin The World of Max Martin Hit Songs Deconstructed’s David Penn delves into the secrets behind the songwriter’s success Things really took off for him in 1995, when he began work with the Backstreet Boys, eventually receiving a writing credit on the boy band’s platinum single Quit Playing Games (With My Heart). He followed that success with Robyn’s Show Me Love and Do You Know (What it Takes), both of which climbed the charts. He’s been much in demand ever since, logging a steady stream of hits as a writer and producer. He’s almost as successful as a producer as he is as Clarkson to Carrie Underwood to Kesha. And a writer, second only to Beatles producer George TALENT that’s just as a writer, as a producer he’s racked up Martin for No.1 singles by a producer. ■ BY DAVID PENN, CO-FOUNDER AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, HIT SONGS DECONSTRUCTED even more credits. His secret? A deep understanding of Pop So why have you never heard of him? Because, to songcraft. Impeccable musicianship. And a gift uick - which songwriter had his hand in the tune of his massive hit for the Backstreet Boys, for listening. He spends as much time as he can the most Hot 100 hits in 2015?

Martin is famously media shy. with each artist to get a feel for their interests and With eight songs in the Top 10 and He doesn’t give many interviews and avoids the influences, which helps him generate songs that Qfour No.1 singles, this songwriter ruled limelight – he’d rather be in the studio crafting and seem natural for them.
