Abstract

Video games can be categorized into various types, commonly referred to as genres. The variety of video game genres in circulation has also attracted the attention of consumers with diverse personalities and preference for certain video game genres. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between the personalities of video game consumers and their attitudes towards certain video game genres. This study involved 93 participants in the young adult age range who played video games for at least two hours a week, acquired using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Personality traits were measured using the Big Five Inventory which has been adapted by the Universitas Tarumanagara research team, while attitude towards the video game genre was measured using an instrument compiled by the author. The findings showed that extraversion personality trait is positively related to attitude towards the sports genre (r = 0.383, p < 0.05), extraversion personality trait is negatively related to attitude towards the RPG genre (r = -0.234, p < 0.05), and openness personality trait is positively related to attitude towards the sports genre (r = 0.298, p < 0.05).
