Die Kinderkrippen-Ampel zur Orientierung für Eltern
Authors: Walter Alfred , Sulz Serge K. D. , Sedlacek Florian
Published: December 2020

Die Ergebnisse unserer Phase 1-Studie führten zu Empfehlungen, die wir in einer »Kinderkrippen-Ampel« veranschaulicht haben. In diese gingen in erster Linie die empirisch gewonnenen Aussagen der Erzieherinnen ein. Die derzeit 38 Kriterien umfassende Kinderkrippen-Ampel (Tabelle 2) ist als Orientierungshilfe für betroffene Eltern und ErzieherInnen gedacht und möchte hinsichtlich unterschiedlichster Problembereiche sensibilisieren und Hilfestellung bieten bei der Entscheidung für eine Kinderkrippe oder Kindertagesstätte – auch hinsichtlich des immensen Drucks der sozialen Umwelt, sein Kind in eine Krippe zu geben, dem sich betroffene Eltern immer wieder konfrontiert sehen. Uns ist sehr bewusst, dass es keine den in der Kinderkrippen-Ampel genannten positiven Kriterien entsprechende ideale Kinderkrippe gibt und geben wird. Jedoch sollte alles daran gesetzt werden, sich nicht vorschnell mit dem Gegebenen abzufinden, insbesondere nicht mit den vorhandenen ökonomischen Zwängen und einer bis in die frühe Kindheit hineinreichenden Leistungsorientierung, die wenig Raum für individuelle psychische Entwicklung ermöglichen, die Kinder in diesem Alter so dringend brauchen.

Published: December 2020

Formulas for electric and magnetic field strengths as sums of TE- and TM-modes in spherical coordinates excited by given volume electric and magnetic currents were derived. On the basis of them we obtained analytical formulas for field strengths in spiral basis excited by sources of circular polarization. From the known field strengths we derived and investigated formulas for Faraday vectors in spiral basis for waves of right and left circular polarizations. Pointing vector flows were calculated for waves of both circular polarizations. Obtained presentations for Faraday vectors and known results of other explorers are discussed.

A method for automatic modulation classification (AMC) of spectral-effective radio signals generated based on various kinds of roll-off filters is presented. The developed method is intended for automatic radio monitoring (RM) of radio emission parameters without demodulation using digital oscilloscopes in order to control compliance with the discipline and radio communication regulations by users of satellite communication systems (SCS). It is proposed to AMC based on the results of the parameters analysis of the phase diagrams (PD) of radio signals. The proposed approach to AMC is based on the idea of displaying radio signals characterized by many different modulation parameters in the form of pattern in the parameter space of PD of continuous phase modulation radio signals (CPM). Developed an alphabet of classes and was proposed a dictionary of features for a variety of alternatives for CPM AMC. To assess the nature of changes in the parameters of the PD of radio signals, reference descriptions of specific classes of the a priori dictionary are obtained, taking into account changes in the variable parameters that form a set of recognition alternatives. The influence of the size of the analyzed fragment and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under the influence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), characteristic of satellite channels, on the quality for CPM AMC, has been estimated. The article substantiates the content of the main stages of the classification of CPM in the parameter space of PD. As a result of statistical experiments, estimates of the probabilities of correct for CPM AMC were obtained.
Others among Others: Latvians’ View of Members of Ethnographic Shows
Authors: Boldāne-Zeļenkova Ilze
Published: December 2020

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Latvians, like several other non-dominant nations that were part of large European empires, actively argued for their status as a nation and fought for the right to be equal partners in economy and politics and for the recognition of their culture. The process of constructing an ethnic identity involves not only inclusion, but also the formation of boundaries and exclusion, defining characteristics in the public space that separate the group Us from Others, that is, other members of society as well as complete strangers. Groups offering ethnographic and freak shows stopped by the Russian imperial city of Riga with guest performances, arousing interest in the local public. The performers exhibited at ethnographic shows were the different others against the background of local others, and Latvians viewed them with more compassion than sense of superiority.

Published: December 2020

This article contributes to the studies of living human exhibitions in Eastern Europe or, more precisely, in Polish territory in the late partition period. The article intends to demonstrate the strategies of presenting Black African women in Warsaw, Cracow, and Poznań. The idea of construing the view has been used as a key concept to look into the processes of the sexualization and racialization of the Others’ female bodies and the construction of “savagery” in the context of nineteenth-century visual culture.
Health and the Origins of the Miqveh
Authors: Gordon Benjamin D.
Published: December 2020

Use of rock-cut stepped pools for immersion in harvested rainwater is first attested in Judean source material of the second century BCE and on archaeological record shortly thereafter. As argued here, the practice became widespread due to the impact of Greco-Roman ideas about health and well-being. Immersion of the body in water was seen in the Greek medical tradition as a beneficial activity; it balanced the humors, opened harmful blockages in the skin membrane, and helped facilitate unction. Once these ideas became widespread in Judea, local purification rituals followed, and began incorporating immersion in water. The rabbinic dichotomy between purification and cleansing was likely irrelevant for most Judeans in the late Second Temple period, who probably also saw immersion as beneficial for personal hygiene. For this reason, stepped pools nearly disappear from archaeological record with the rise of public bathhouses, which offered the convenience of large and well-maintained immersion pools in exchange for a fee.

Aprendre a ensenyar a escriure: un exemple de plantejament de tasques d'escriptura en la formació de docents de llengua
Authors: Casas i Deseuras Mariona
Published: December 2020

Escriure és una activitat complexa. Consegüentment, també és complex el procés d'ensenyament-aprenentatge de la composició escrita i, més encara, en segones llengües. La recerca ens aporta evidències sobre les dificultats amb què topen els aprenents a l'hora d'escriure, per una banda, i les dificultats que manifesten els docents a l'hora d'acompanyar-los, per l'altra. El repte, doncs, consisteix a reconèixer els obstacles que apareixen durant el procés d'escriptura i a saber fer emergir les estratègies necessàries per superar-los. En aquest marc, l'article presenta algunes idees clau sobre la did.ctica de l'escriptura des d'un vessant teoricopràctic, a partir de l'experie`ncia en la formació de docents de llengua. El dispositiu didàctic que es mostra se centra en el plantejament de tasques per aprendre a escriure i aporta reflexions dels futurs ensenyants a l'entorn de la didàctica de l'escriptura. En conclusió, l'article sosté que docents i aprenents participen del mateix objectiu quan es tracta d'ensenyar i aprendre a escriure, i aquesta assumpció és un convit a repensar el paper d'ambdós agents davant d'aquest repte.
La producció dels sons oclusius del català per part dels aprenents sinòfons: estudi contrastiu, anàlisi d'errors i propostes de millora
Authors: Wang Liyun
Published: December 2020

Aquesta contribució s'insereix en el camp de la didàctica de la llengua catalana com a llengua estrangera i, m.s concretament, en el de la fonologia contrastiva. Es contrasten els fonemes oclusius del català i el xinès estàndard —putonghuà— en l'àmbit segmental i el suprasegmental sil·làbic (distribució en la síl·laba) per tal de preveure les dificultats que han d'afrontar els sinoparlants abans de dominar la pronunciació dels sons oclusius i aproximants del catal`à. L'estudi de camp es basa en la producció de /p-b/, /t-d/, /k-g/ del catal. per part de 19 estudiants universitaris d'origen xinès de 20-35 anys que residien a l'àrea metropolitana de Barcelona. Es parteix d'un corpus format per 115 mots o compostos amb /p-b/, /t-d/ i /k-g/ en diferents posicions sil·làbiques (obertura simple o complexa a l'inici o interior de mot, coda simple o complexa a l'interior o al final de mot), a fi de poder realitzar un estudi com m´és ampli possible dels tipus d'errors o imprecisions que poden presentar els aprenents xinesos. Basant-se en els errors detectats, es proposen estratègies didàctiques per millorar la pronunciació dels aprenents sinòfons.

Diversidad polínica atmosférica en la ciudad de Sunchales (Santa Fe, Argentina): agosto – noviembre 2012, agosto – diciembre 2013
Authors: Pérez Claudio F. , Gassmann María I. , Ulke Ana G. , Merino Rodrigo
Published: December 2020

Introducción y objetivos: Las afecciones respiratorias, como el asma, la rinitis y las alergias, están aumentando en todo el mundo, en asociación a una mayor presencia en el aire de distintos agentes etiológicos desencadenantes, de los cuales, el polen es uno de los más importantes. Estas evidencias muestran la importancia de monitorear sus concentraciones con fines preventivos o de posible control. Este trabajo reporta la incidencia y prevalencia del contenido polínico de la atmósfera y los tipos alergénicos presentes en el aire de la ciudad de Sunchales (Santa Fe, Argentina) durante dos períodos de estudio (agosto – noviembre 2012, agosto – diciembre 2013) con el objetivo de presentar un relevamiento preliminar para la localidad.
M&M: Las muestras se colectaron con una trampa Burkard ubicada a 1,3 m sobre el suelo con un volumen de aspiración de 0,6 m3 h-1. Se analizaron con microscopio óptico a 400x, recorriendo la totalidad del preparado. Así se determinó la concentración diaria (gr m-3) para los tipos polínicos reconocidos. El reconocimiento de los mismos y su alergenicidad se determinó mediante bibliografía especializada. 
Resultados & Conclusiones: En comparación con otras ciudades del país, el registro es rico en especies, aunque la concentración diaria para el período analizado es baja. La mayoría del polen capturado (cerca de 70%) corresponde a sólo cuatro tipos polínicos (Cupressaceae, Moraceae, Poaceae y Urticaceae) reportados en la bibliografía como alergénicos.
Reforestar en áreas agrícola-ganaderas: un estudio de caso evaluando el desempeño de dos especies nativas del Espinal
Authors: Peirone Cappri Luciana , Torres Romina C. , Estrabou Cecilia
Published: December 2020

Introducción y objetivos: La restauración de bosques es un tema de interés creciente, especialmente en zonas agrícola-ganaderas donde los parches remanentes de bosque nativo son escasos. Evaluamos el desempeño de plantines de dos especies arbóreas nativas del Espinal. Nos propusimos (1) comparar la supervivencia y el crecimiento de plantines de Prosopis alba (algarrobo blanco) y Celtis ehrenbergiana (tala) plantados en un sitio al borde del bosque y en un sitio abierto, (2) comparar la incidencia de herbívoros entre especies y sitios, (3) describir otros factores ambientales que pudieran afectar el desempeño de los plantines en el contexto agrícola-ganadero. 
M&M: Plantamos 200 plantines por especie, distribuidos en los dos sitios y evaluamos mensualmente la supervivencia, altura e incidencia de herbívoros. 
Resultados: A los 11 meses, la supervivencia de algarrobo y tala fue de 32% y 17%, respectivamente (P<0,0001). El algarrobo tuvo mayor supervivencia en el borde del bosque mientras el tala tuvo mayor supervivencia en el sitio abierto (interacción sitio x especie, P<0,0001). La altura final fue menor que al momento de la plantación, sin diferencias entre especies ni sitios (P>0,05). Los herbívoros vertebrados afectaron al 28% de los plantines de ambas especies, mientras que los invertebrados afectaron en promedio un 5% de los plantines. Durante el experimento la plantación fue afectada por la deriva de herbicidas. 
Conclusiones: Recomendamos la plantación de algarrobo para extender parches de bosque remanentes y de tala para la creación de nuevos parches en sitios abiertos o incrementar conexión entre parches aislados, con exclusión ganadera y en sitios que estén protegidos de la deriva de herbicidas.

Published: December 2020

Introducción: En los tiempos actuales los tintes naturales cobran importancia por su inocuidad, durabilidad y conservación ambiental. Otorgan identidad regional a todo proyecto de índole artesanal donde se empleen vegetales para teñir. El presente trabajo estudia el potencial tintóreo sobre fibra lana merino de las plantas autóctonas de la estepa patagónica. 
M&M: El área de recolección del material vegetal tintóreo se circunscribió a la zona sureste del Chubut, Argentina, correspondiendo al Distrito Florístico del Golfo San Jorge. Se aplicó la receta madre para la obtención del tinte y se desarrollaron tres tipos de procedimientos, pre-mordentado, mordentado directo y post-mordentado, dependiendo del momento de aplicación del alumbre. Se emplearon modificadores de color bicarbonato de sodio y sulfato de hierro. Mediante el uso de la tabla universal del sistema Munsell (Color, 2009) se estudió el tono, la luminosidad y saturación.
Resultados: Se estudiaron 50 especies nativas de la Región Patagónica. En su totalidad se obtuvo la siguiente proporción: marrones 37%, amarillo 35 %, olivas 14%, grises 10% rosados 2 % y verdes 2%. Se destacan 9 especies de mayor saturación cromática. Los colores con mayor saturación se obtienen durante el proceso pre-mordentado. Las familias mejor representadas son Fabaceae y Asteraceae.
Conclusiones: Del análisis de la literatura de plantas empleadas para tintes naturales en Argentina, surge que numerosas especies estudiadas en la presente investigación no registran antecedentes y resultan ser prometedoras brindando colores intensos de saturaciones elevadas.  Podemos considerarlas verdaderos hallazgos y sugerirlas con alto potencial tintóreo para la fibra de lana merino.
New approaches to the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases in people of working age
Authors: Lobeev Aleksej V.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Chronic non-communicable diseases (CND) are a global health problem. In Russia, there is still a high mortality rate from CND, especially among the working-age population. A promising method of dealing with the chronic noninfectious diseases are school of health. For the working-age population, health schools can be one of the most effective and affordable methods of preventing CND. The aim of study is to analyze the attendance of the school of health for arterial hypertension. Consider alternatives to combat CND in the working-age population, similar to health schools. Materials and methods. During the work, we used data from the school of health on arterial hypertension, conducted on the basis of the GBUZ "City polyclinic No. 8" DZM. The study included all male and female patients who attended school in 2018. at the age of 18 and older. The assessment of school attendance, age and gender characteristics of students, test results, and analysis of systolic and diastolic blood pressure indicators at the control reception was carried out. Results. 140 people were trained, including 116 women (83%) and 24 men (17%). The average age of patients ranged from 43 to 90 (72.3±9) years. Among the students there were only 18 (12.9%) people of working age:14 women and 4 men. The age of women ranged from 43 to 90 years, men - from 60 to 89 years. During the training, the level of knowledge of patients increased from 6.3±1.7 (out of 10 possible) to 9.0±0.9 points (p<0.001). According to the results of the control measurement, the average SAP was 131.1±11.8 mm Hg, and the DAP was 78.6±9.0 mm Hg. For patients of working age, the average SAP was 130.4±15.1 mm Hg, and the DAP was 76.5±8.3 mm Hg. Conclusions. Training in the school of health significantly increases the level of medical awareness of patients about their disease. There is a need for greater promotion of health schools among the working-age population. Student and trade Union platforms for organizing preventive actions can serve as an alternative to health schools for able-bodied citizens. Remote methods of prevention and raising medical awareness can become a new stage in the development of CND prevention.

Medical rehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic should include all components of rehabilitation measures aimed at rapid recovery of vital body functions, improving the quality of life of patients and preventing complications. The aim of study is to identify the most effective methods of rehabilitation of patients with lung damage of varying severity caused by a new coronavirus infection. Assessment of rehabilitation potential depending on age, gender, and severity of lung tissue damage. Materials and methods. The article describes the experience of rehabilitation and rehabilitation treatment of 40 patients after acute infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was carried out on the basis of the neurological occupational pathology Department of the Burnazyan State Medical Center. Results. To determine the volume of rehabilitation treatment, each patient was tested using special scales and questionnaires that allow assessing the patient's somatic status, physical activity tolerance, cognitive functions, and the presence of affective disorders. Testing was performed at the patient's admission to the hospital and on the 12th day, which helped to assess the dynamics of recovery. To achieve the maximum effect of the work done, we have organized an individual comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to each patient, including a group of specialists, such as a therapist, pulmonologist, neurologist, rehabilitologist, physiotherapist, psychologist, physical therapy instructor. Against the background of rehabilitation and rehabilitation treatment, there was a positive dynamics in the condition of patients, in the form of an increase in tolerance to physical activity according to scales, questionnaires, and functional tests in 95%, improvement in saturation indicators in 90%, and affective disorders were completely corrected in 85% of patients. Subjectively, 100% of patients report an improvement in their health status. Conclusions. Thus, despite the timely treatment received in the acute period of the disease, a very important stage in the treatment of patients is rehabilitation in the long-term period.

Authors: Lee Tzu Ying
Published: December 2020

This study investigated to what extent group cohesiveness is related to organizational commitment and transformational leadership. In the advent of generational transformation, it is impossible to achieve organizational goals and create win-win partnerships between supervisors and subordinates merely by resorting to organizational discipline or role behavior. This study, based on a quality interview survey, explored the influence of team cohesiveness on organizational commitment with transformational leadership as a moderating variable. Literature related to the real estate agency industry was firstly reviewed and compiled for overall understanding. In-depth onsite expert interviews were conducted for inducing internal and external affecting factors. Actual cases were analyzed. The influence of team behavior and group cohesiveness on organizational commitment was verified. It was found. Additionally, supervisors' positive transformational leadership and supportive behavior could lead to positive organizational cohesiveness. This is regarded as one of the key success factors of management. Transformational leadership behaviors that can boost positive group cohesiveness should be encouraged. Such behaviors can not only boost group cohesiveness but also enable the team to achieve the team goal efficiently.

The present study aimed to investigate the role of negative feelings on the consumer buying decision. The influence of a brand image, the need for social approval, and negative brand self- expressiveness on brand embarrassment, as well as the influence of embarrassment on brand hate and brand detachment, mediated by interpersonal influence, were investigated. Findings revealed that brand image and the need for social approval do not have any influence on brand embarrassment, while the negative brand self-expressiveness does predict brand embarrassment. On the other side, the findings revealed that brand embarrassment creates brand hate and brand detachment. And, interpersonal influence has a mediating role in the relationship between brand image-brand detachment, negative brand self-expressiveness-brand hate, and negative brand self- expressiveness-brand detachment.
HerStory: Narrative Journeys of Young Black Women with Eating Disorders
Authors: hawthorne stephanie
Published: December 2020

Little is known of eating disorder (ED) pathology in Black females. It has long been perceived that Black females do not struggle with EDs; yet growing research suggests the opposite in this sub-population. This study explored ED development in three young Black women and uncovered adolescent experiential factors that were significant in their ED journeys. In the form of narrative inquiry, triangulation of interviews, observations, and abstracts were used to restory their ED accounts and glean a deeper understanding of their personal journeys. Findings revealed that preadolescence was a pivotal period when body image became a prominent focus rooted in social criticism that grew more powerful than their self-images could bear, adversely affecting their self-concept as Black girls. Trauma, sociocultural and sociopolitical variables, and comorbid psychological illnesses were instrumental in their ED developments and placed unhealthy emphasis on their bodies and mental states. Conclusions include 1) childhood experiences presented salient triggers for the development of EDs; 2) cultural distinctions influenced ED practices; 3) EDs were systems of control; and 4) salient factors prevented early intervention of EDs. Black women are coming forward to share experiences of conflict and hope to help further understand ED pathology in the Black community.
Russia and South Africa: Historical Memory. Part 1
Authors: Mxolisi Ndlovu Sifiso

In order to prove that the relationship between South Africa and Russia began well before the democratic dispensation in South Africa, the author is of the belief that the present Russian state inherited the mantle of the former Soviet Union state and therefore the two place names are used interchangeably. The timeline for this article begins from the 1960s to the present, particularly the era after the formation of post-1994 democratic South Africa. The themes to be analysed relate to the writing of a brief ‘diplomatic’ history of South Africa and the Soviet Union and will focus on progressive internationalism, diplomacy, foreign policy, communism and anti-communism in South Africa.

Dalam kepengurusan sebuah organisasi sering dilakukan pemilihan pengurus organisasi. Pemilihan dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mencari sosok pemimpin organisasi yang baik sehingga diharapkan dapat menjalankan organisasi tersebut sehingga dapat mencapai visi, misi, dan tujuan dari organisasi tersebut. Pelaksanaan proses pemilihan di berbagai organisasi sering dilakukan dengan metode voting yang konvensional, baik menggunakan kertas, atau online form seperti Google Form dan lain sebagainya. Hal ini juga terjadi di organisasi kemahasiswaan yang ada di Universitas Klabat, baik untuk pemilihan Senat Mahasiswa dan Badan Ekesekutif Mahasiswa di level Fakultas maupun Universitas, semua dilakukan dengan metode voting yang konvensional. Metode ini memiliki beberapa kekurangan, salah satu adalah proses perhitungan atau rekapitulasi hasil voting yang memakan waktu cukup lama, dan kurangnya informasi yang didapatkan oleh pemilih (voters) tentang calon pengurus BEM dan Senat. Oleh karena itu, dalam studi ini dibuat sebuah aplikasi electronic voting dengan memanfaatkan teknologi informasi untuk mengatasi permasalahan dari metode voting konvensional. Aplikasi electronic voting dibuat berbasis Progressive Web Application, sehingga dapat digunakan baik melalui web browser, desktop, dan juga melalui smartphone. Adapun aplikasi electronic voting PWA yang dibuat menjadikan proses pemilihan pengurus BEM dan Senat menjadi lebih cepat dan akurat, serta partisipasi yang baik dari seluruh mahasiswa pemilih.
PhysiCombat: A Projectile Motion Multiplayer Turn-Based Physics Game on Android
Authors: Mambu Joe Yuan
Published: December 2020

School lessons can be uninteresting and even dull. Subjects like maths, physics or chemistry are on top of the list, and one topic that often hard to grasp is the projectile motion lesson. Gamification is seen as one of the concepts where learning can be much more engaging. Using Unity 3D, we were able to develop gamification of the projectile motion lesson. By transforming it into an Angry Birds look alike, the learning process is experienced in this turn-based game become much more enjoyable. Instead of pointing where to shoot, students are asked to calculate the velocity by taking the given value such as angle and distance. The game can be played alone, as in practice mode, or two players as in versus mode or even two groups which is very applicable in a class (i.e. Group 1 vs Group 2) and since it uses real physics equation, the application able to show a realistic simulation of the projectile motion path. School lessons can be uninteresting and even dull.

Stable neural representations of mental states across target people and stimulus modalities
Authors: Weaverdyck Miriam E. , Thornton Mark Allen , Tamir Diana
Published: December 2020

Each individual experiences mental states in their own idiosyncratic way, yet perceivers are able to accurately understand a huge variety of states across unique individuals. How do they accomplish this feat? Do people think about their own anger in the same ways as another person’s? Is reading about someone’s anxiety the same as seeing it? Here, we test the hypothesis that a common conceptual core unites mental state representations across contexts. Across three studies, participants judged the mental states of multiple targets, including a generic other, the self, a socially close other, and a socially distant other. Participants viewed mental state stimuli in multiple modalities, including written scenarios and images. Using representational similarity analysis, we found that brain regions associated with social cognition expressed stable neural representations of mental states across both targets and modalities. This suggests that people use stable models of mental states across different people and contexts.
Mnemonic Attention in Analogy to Perceptual Attention: Harmony but Not Uniformity
Authors: Han Sizhu , Ku Yixuan
Published: December 2020

It is widely accepted that peripheral cues in perception capture attention automatically, while central cues need voluntary control to exert functions. However, whether they differ similarly in working memory remains unclear. The present study addressed this issue through 5 experiments using a retro-cue paradigm with more than two hundred participants. Similar to perceptual attention, we found peripheral cues in working memory (1) were more effective than central cues in low memory-load conditions (Experiments 1 and 2), and (2) they influenced performance much faster than central cues (Experiment 5). Unlike perceptual attention, peripheral cues in working memory (1) did not capture attention to memory representations when they are uninformative (Experiment 3), and (2) could raise confidence ratings (Experiment 4). Taken together, our findings suggest that the effects of spatial cues on memory versus perception are similar but not the same.
Why does the Dyad-4PNO model of Kern and Culpepper (2020) fit real data?
Authors: Maris Gunter , Bechger Timo , Deonovic Benjamin
Published: December 2020

This note aims to elucidate why the Dyad-4PNO model of Kern and Culpepper (2020) can be expected to fit real data reasonably well. The main result is that the Dyad-4PNO approximates a latent tree model. We offer a simple proof of identifiability, and draw some implications for psychological measurement in practice.
Short Research Report: Does Playing Apart Really Bring us Together? Investigating the Link Between Perceived Loneliness and the Use of Video Games During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Authors: Nebel Steve , Ninaus Manuel
Published: December 2020

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several countries implemented social distancing measures to contain virus transmission. However, these vital safety measures have the potential to impair mental health or well-being, for instance, from increased perceived loneliness. Playing social video games may offer a way to continue to socialize while adhering to social distancing measures. To examine this issue further, the present online survey investigated social gaming during the pandemic and its association to perceived loneliness within a German-speaking sample. Results indicated a small positive correlation between general gaming frequency and perceived loneliness. Detailed analysis revealed a negative association between perceived loneliness and increased social forms of video gaming. Specifically, gamers with more social motive for gaming perceived less loneliness, but gamers with a dominant escape motive demonstrated a positive link to perceived loneliness. The use of social gaming in times of social distancing seems to play a small but significant factor in perceived loneliness compared to other demographical data. The findings are discussed with respect to methodological limitations, effect sizes, and sample characteristics. The results enrich the current knowledge on video gaming and its link to social well-being and provide a more nuanced picture than simplistic investigations of screen time.
