Hello!

My name is Enrico Gandolfi and I am a junior faculty at Kent State University (https://www.kent.edu/ehhs/tlcs/dr-enrico-gandolfi).

I have been working on Vitality, Gaming, Health, and Community building. Some of my articles about these topics follow below:

I am posting here for inviting you to participate in a voluntary research study about online gaming, community, and vitality regarding DoTA2 players. My objective is to explore if and how in-game practices are influenced by empathy, social bonding, and toxicity. Participation includes the participation in the following anonymous questionnaire addressing these topics.

It would take 10 minutes of your time.
