Abstract(s)
Os videojogos são um elemento cada vez mais presente no quotidiano da
população mundial; a sua transversalidade em termos de idade, os seus inúmeros
elementos atrativos e a sua enorme variedade contribuem para a tendência crescente deste
fenómeno. Posto isto, torna-se pertinente explorar em maior detalhe uma atividade que
pode funcionar como meio de camuflar o sofrimento psicológico de um sujeito.
Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo explorar a possibilidade dos videojogos
constituírem uma fuga defensiva, simulando a retirada primitiva numa experiência
partilhada. Método: No sentido de explorar este objetivo, foram elaboradas um conjunto
de 6 entrevistas a um único sujeito, posteriormente transcritas e analisadas de acordo com
a análise temática. Resultados: Os dados recolhidos demonstram que a hipótese
considerada pode ser sustentada, embora as limitações do estudo, trata-se de uma
observação plausível de maior elaboração.
