Abstract

Virtual games represent an activity in which those engaged relate and behave analogously with the real social space. The investigation of some players' personality dimensions with a view to their manifestation in cyberspace represents a desideratum of this study. It takes into account that the need of involvement in the virtual game is a type of energetic and actional activation, which might shape characteristics specific to personality. On the other hand, virtual players use social abilities in their activity.
