Gal Gamers Geekier Than Guys?

女玩家更勝一籌

A study in the Journal of Communication found that women who engage in a role-playing game online actually spend more time in the alternate reality than the guy players do. Karen Hopkin reports.

發(fā)表在《傳播學報》的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：事實上，沉迷網(wǎng)上角色扮演類游戲（簡稱RPG）的女玩家比男玩家揮霍更多的時間在這個虛幻世界中。請聽卡倫霍普金的報道。

Picture a gamer, someone who spends countless hours immersed in one of those online role-playing alternate realities. And what do you see? Is it a physically fit female closer to 40 than 14? If not, you may need to rethink your assumptions about geekdom. Because a study in the Journal of Communication shows that when it comes to dominating the virtual world, women are actually more hardcore than men.?

你腦海中一個沉迷于某個在線角色扮演游戲的玩家是什么樣的呢？是不是身體健康的她已老態(tài)盡顯，而非青春洋溢？如果不是，那么你需要重整下你腦中瘋狂網(wǎng)蟲概念。因為一項《傳播學報》的研究表明女玩家實際上是網(wǎng)絡(luò)虛擬世界中的統(tǒng)治核心。

Scientists conducted a survey of some 7,000 players who were logged on to a game called EverQuest II. And they discovered some interesting things. First off, the average age of the gamers surveyed was 31. And that playing time tended to increase with age. Which is also where the sex differences come in. The female gamers actually logged more time online: an average of 29 hours a week, versus 25 for the males, with the top players putting in 57 hours a week on the girl's side, and 51 for the guys. What's more, it looks like women are more likely to lie about how much they really play. The researchers found that the gals tended to lowball how long they spend glued to the screen.

在對7000名無盡的任務(wù)Ⅱ（游戲名）的玩家進行的訪查中，科學家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些有趣的事。首先，受訪玩家平均年齡在31歲。他們玩游戲的時間與其年齡成正比，還因性別不同而不同。女玩家花的時間更多：女玩家每周平均29小時在線，最高可達57小時，而男玩家平均25小時，最高51小時；還有，研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)女玩家多喜歡在她們的實際游戲時間這個問題上撒謊，而且多傾向于低報。

So, never ask a women her age. Or how much time she spends defeating the dark elves to rebuild the world of Norrath.

記住，女人對自己的年齡和游戲時間都是諱莫如深，千萬別問哦！
