| description | Players of a fantasy Play‐By‐Mail game were compared with matched controls on personality measures of decision‐making style, sex‐role, extraversion, neuroticism, empathy, leisure interests and personality type.

They were more introverted, showed lower scores on the scale of empathic concern, and were more likely to describe themselves as ‘scientific’, and to include ‘playing with computers’ and ‘reading’ amongst their leisure interests than controls. |
