The research is carried out by highly qualified psychologists and their assistants. The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between age, potential gaming experience and psychological processes, such as impulsivity and attention. In addition we investigate the role of context and characteristics such as mindfulness and personality. Performing the various tasks and filling out the questionnaires is harmless without any negative consequences.

Participation is utterly voluntary. It is possible to withdraw from the experiment at any time and to decline from answering questions without having to give reasons for this. There is no monetary compensation for participation.

During the study you will be requested to answer some general questions regarding age, gender, gaming behaviour and sleep. Subsequently you will be asked to fill out two questionnaires followed by a computer task. During the task, some pictures require a simple keyboard button press, and some pictures require a response to be withheld. After this task, you will be requested to perform the last task in which you simply have to indicate via button press, the color of words presented one-by-one on the screen.

The experiment will take no longer than approximately 20 minutes. The results of this study may be used in publications and may be presented at scientific conferences. If requested, written or verbal information will be provided on these events.
