Abstract

A collaborative effort to develop normed video game-related images for use in future addictive gaming research is discussed. Images were rated for valence, arousal, and relevance (on a 1-9 scale), urge and interest (on a 1-10 scale). Descriptive statistics for these scales, correlates with psychological traits, and implications are reported.
