Abstract
Esports research is a burgeoning field, relatively new but growing rapidly, encompassing a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives. For HICSS-57, we actively sought high-quality research, inclusive of different methodologies, that examines diverse aspects of esports. We received fifteen manuscripts across various disciplines and selected five for presentation and publication. The papers focused on the support for players’ health and duty of care offered by esports organizations (Hong), spectators’ toxic behaviors (Qian, Yu, Seifried, Martinez, Matz & Luo), the development of esports athletes and its comparison to traditional sports (Fisackerly & Hwang), satisfying the psychological need by playing virtual reality golf (Chen & Li), the role of arousal in Super Smash Bro tournament performance (Nolla, Beeman & Reber).
