{"product_id":"video-games-and-social-competence-rachel-kowert-9781138804265","title":"Video Games and Social Competence","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite their popularity, online video games have been met with suspicion by the popular media and academic community. In particular, there is a growing concern that online video game play may be associated with deficits in social functioning. Due to a lack of empirical consistency, the debate surrounding the potential impact of online video game play on a user's sociability remains an active one. This book contributes to this debate by exploring the potential impact of online video game involvement on social competence outcomes, theoretically and empirically. Through empirical research, Kowert examines the relationships between online video game involvement, social goals, and social skills and discusses the underlying mechanisms of these effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Kowert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138804266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138804265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Rachel Kowert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065369669887,"sku":"9781138804265","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3d37c54-4061-48f9-b053-fc53934a845d.jpg?v=1768674751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/video-games-and-social-competence-rachel-kowert-9781138804265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
