摘要

在本研究中，我们通过对芬兰 15-25 岁活跃游戏玩家的定性调查（95 人），研究了年轻人自我报告的消极（"有毒"）在线游戏行为。根据年轻人的生活经验，我们将消极游戏行为视为一个复杂的整体，源于网络抑制、情感强度、游戏文化行为规范和个人偏好的综合作用。我们将网络游戏环境视为具有不同技术和交流能力的空间。在这项研究中，我们展示了并非所有消极游戏行为在意图或结果上都是相同的，并引入了 "平庸毒性 "的概念：表面上充满敌意，但缺乏情感强度的常规行为，几乎没有战略目的，但却有利于形成消极的整体社会景观。

Online Disinhibition, Normative Hostility, and Banal Toxicity: Young People’s Negative Online Gaming Conduct

In this study, we examine young people’s self-reported negative (“toxic”) online gaming conduct via a qualitative survey ( N = 95) of active game players aged 15–25 in Finland. Drawing from young people’s lived experiences, we present negative gaming conduct as a complex whole, stemming from a combination of online disinhibition, affective intensity, game cultural conduct norms, and individual preferences. We explore online gaming environments as spaces with different technological and communicative affordances. In this study, we demonstrate how not all negative gaming conduct is equal in intent or outcome and introduce the concept of banal toxicity: outwardly hostile but routine conduct that lacks emotional intensity and serves little strategic purpose yet is conducive to an overall social landscape of negativity.

期刊介绍： Social Media + Society is an open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal that focuses on the socio-cultural, political, psychological, historical, economic, legal and policy dimensions of social media in societies past, contemporary and future. We publish interdisciplinary work that draws from the social sciences, humanities and computational social sciences, reaches out to the arts and natural sciences, and we endorse mixed methods and methodologies. The journal is open to a diversity of theoretic paradigms and methodologies. The editorial vision of Social Media + Society draws inspiration from research on social media to outline a field of study poised to reflexively grow as social technologies evolve. We foster the open access of sharing of research on the social properties of media, as they manifest themselves through the uses people make of networked platforms past and present, digital and non. The journal presents a collaborative, open, and shared space, dedicated exclusively to the study of social media and their implications for societies. It facilitates state-of-the-art research on cutting-edge trends and allows scholars to focus and track trends specific to this field of study.
