Personalidad y elección de personaje en los juegos de rol: dime quién eres y te diré quién prefieres ser

Abstract

In role-playing games players perform participative and episodic stories. Personality is a psychological construct associated with decision processes in many aspects of life. In this study, we analyzed if Big Five Personality Factors were related to game character preferences in the role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons”. Results show that Personality is related only in the decision of character’s class. We also study the relationship between Personality and plots in role-playing games (action, intrigue, mystery, and personal relationships). Finally, recommendations to further investigation were given.
