...Running Head: Online Game Addiction Perception of and Addiction to Online Games as a Function of Personality Traits Searle Huh University of Southern California and Nicholas David Bowman Michigan State University Online Publication Date: April 26, 2008 Journal of Media Psychology, V 13, No. 2, Spring, 2008 Abstract With the growing popularity of online video games, there have been anecdotal reports suggesting that these games are highly addictive, with some gamers spending in excess of 40 to 50 hours per week playing. Thus, research into the individual characteristics that lead to excessive play is warranted. This paper examines two individual variables – personality and perceptions of media – and explores how they relate to online game play, specifically online game addiction. By presenting a revised metric for online game addiction, this paper explores the relationship between addiction and both personality and perception. Online addiction is presented in this paper as a process addiction with four unique factors: perceived social sanctions, excessive play, uncontrollable play, and displacement. Both personality and perception are found to be significantly associated with online game addiction. These results are interpreted and discussed, and future research direction is suggested. Keywords: online game addiction, Big Five personality traits, media perception, MMOs Perception and Addiction of Online Games as a Function of Personality Traits ...

...ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. Examples are: (a) Payment of an accounts payable. (b) Collection of an accounts receivable from a customer. (c) Transfer of an accounts payable to a note payable. 2. Transactions (a), (b), (d) are considered business transactions and are recorded in the accounting records because a change in assets, liabilities, or equities has been effected as a result of a transfer of values from one party to another. Transactions (c) and (e) are not business transactions because a transfer of values has not resulted, nor can the event be considered financial in nature and capable of being expressed in terms of money. 3. Transaction (a): Accounts Receivable (debit), Service Revenue (credit). Transaction (b): Cash (debit), Accounts Receivable (credit). Transaction (c): Office Supplies (debit), Accounts Payable (credit). Transaction (d): Delivery Expense (debit), Cash (credit). 4. Revenue and expense accounts are referred to as temporary or nominal accounts because each period they are closed out to Income Summary in the closing process. Their balances are reduced to zero at the end of the accounting period; therefore, the term temporary or nominal is sometimes given to these accounts. 5. The double-entry system means that for every debit amount there must be a credit amount and vice-versa. At least two accounts are affected. It does not mean that each transaction must be recorded twice. 6. Although it is not absolutely necessary...

...Structural Change in the U.S. Banking Industry: The Role of Information Technology Sandra D. Cooke Economics and Statistics Administration Office of Policy Development Office of Business and Industrial Analysis June 1997 ESA/OPA 97-6 Structural Change in Banking: the Role of Information Technology Structural Change in Banking: the Role of Information Technology ABSTRACT Commercial bank investment in information technology (IT) equipment has grown rapidly, from $104 million in 1960 to more than $10 billion in 1994. These investments in “hard” technologies (computer hardware, software, telecommunications equipment, etc.) have been accompanied by increases in "soft" technologies, for example, complex financial innovations that were infeasible on a large scale without IT hardware. These developments, together with deregulation, are creating new competitors, new financial markets and instruments, and a new role for commercial banks as providers of financial services. This study documents how changes in information technology have affected the role of banks in financial markets and have influenced changes in the structure and performance of the U.S. banking industry. The analysis also covers new, fast-growing financial innovations linked to IT investment e.g., asset securitization and derivatives. IT’s effect on the banking industry has been positive. Increased competition has caused banks to lose traditional customers, but IT enabled the banks to offer new products...
