Survey

Dear Summoners, first and foremost, we want to thank you once again for your interest and your participation in our study, which is highly appreciated. In the following, we will present the five winners of our lottery and shortly describe our results in a comprehensible fashion. Winner (obfuscated with 'X' due to privacy reasons): [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Results: We conducted an online survey using the strategy of Self-Presentation to explain past purchases of (virtual) items in League of Legends. Additionally, we utilized additional constructs (such as “identification”) potentially effecting self-presentation and purchases. Our final sample yielded in 209 participants. Results indicate that the desire to self-present oneself in the context of LoL has a positive impact on purchases. Furthermore, we found empirical evidence that identification with the group, i.e. belonging to the LoL community, plays a unique role predicting self-presentation and purchase behavior. Thus, purchases in LoL seem to be highly driven by social aspects.

If you have any additional questions and/or comments do not hesitate to get in contact with us!

Hello dear summoners,

two friends of mine from the University of Siegen, Germany, are conducting a survey in order to investigate the way players present themselves in LoL.

By participating in the study, you support their research and take part in a lottery where you can win 1 out of 5 RP vouchers. The survey will take around 15 minutes.

Survey link: CLOSED

Thank you very much for your participation! Good luck on the fields of justice!

PS: Please feel free to share the survey! Thank you in advance!
