Résumé :
Les "accros" des jeux vidéos, ou "hard gamers", présentent-ils des caractéristiques psychiques pathologiques et des critères personnels communément retrouvés chez les toxicomanes, les joueurs pathologiques ou les acheteurs compulsifs ? 27 sujets adultes ont été inclus dans cette étude, 15 "gamers" et 12 "hard gamers". Les outils d'évaluation utilisés sont la SSS de Zuckerman (Sensation Seeking-Scale), la SEI de Coopersmith (Self Estime Inventory), le TAT de Murray (test d'aperception des thèmes) et le test de l'addiction de Vavassori. Les résultats montrent que les "hard gamers" répondent aux critères sociophénoménologiques de l'addiction aux jeux vidéos. La recherche d'un autre monde, de toute puissance, de gratification reflète une recherche de contrôle de leur vie et un exutoire contre l'agressivité et la frustration.

The object of this study is to compare the sociophenomenon criteria of hard gamer with pathological psychic characteristics an with interpersonal aptitudes commonly observe at the person have a addictive control (drug addict, pathological player, compulsif pursachers...). begin by a direct observation and some preliminary interview, we have put in place method allowed us to test the hypothesis according to which the player known as hard gamers have an addictive practice of video game. A qualitative analysis makes it possible to establish significative difference's between Hard Gamers and Gamers not presenting the criteria relating to the addiction. A typological classification authorizes us to cary out a hierarchic ascendancy classification with the various studied variable's: addiction with video games, pathological psychic characteristics and failing interpersonal aptitudes. Thus, the subjets of our study ware gathered in two distinct groups on the basis of addictive comportment from video games: only Hard Gamers are addict with video games. The result of the typological analysis confirms the veracity of the sociophenomenon sociocriteria as criteria of video games addiction. This analysis calls into question the quotation of the test of the addiction (currently in the course of revision) used to evaluate addictive comportment. (Author's abstract.)
