Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this project is to find out if there is a difference in addictive behavior, personality traits, and cognitive abilities between chess players and non-chess players.
Detailed Description
In the present planned study, tournament chess players will be compared with non-tournament chess playing individuals by means of an online survey. Among other things, the investigators want to investigate whether these groups of persons differ in various characteristics such as their consumption behavior (alcohol, tobacco, and drug use), their personality, their depressiveness and mood, or their cognitive abilities. The background is the question whether playing chess could be protective against substance use disorders or could mitigate the manifestation.
