The Positive Effect of Barrier-Free e-Sports on Rolefulness and Game-Mediated Communication

This study investigated the effect of barrier-free e-sports activities on rolefulness in 23 people involved in barrier-free e-sports in order to determine the relationship between Game Mediated Communication (GMC) and rolefulness. The results show that both the social and internal rolefulness scores were higher after the barrier-free e-sports experience. In addition, significant positive correlations between certain subscales of the GMC scale and the rolefulness scale were identified.
