Sisällön kuvaus

The dataset consists of 10 transcribed interviews that investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on everyday life and collected information about the interviewees' gaming experiences and time use. Data collection was conducted as part of a research project funded by the University of Jyväskylä and the Academy of Finland (project number 312397).

Interviewees were invited to participate in online gaming events and the interviews were conducted virtually on the Zoom platform. The interviews explored what gaming had been like during the COVID-19 pandemic and the experiences associated with gaming. Interview themes included the impact of the pandemic on everyday life, gaming alone vs. gaming with friends or family, and time spent on gaming and on non-gaming leisure time activities. The interviewees were also asked to recount a particularly memorable gaming experience from the previous month.

Background information included the interviewee's gender and economic activity. The data were organised into an easy to use HTML version at FSD.

The dataset is only available in Finnish.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

To prevent identification of individuals, the data were anonymised by the researchers. The interviewees were instructed to avoid disclosing any personal data during the interview. During the transcription of the data, all remaining personal data were removed. After this, a supervisory round of anonymization was completed to remove possible identifiers, such as place names, from the data.

The data deposited at FSD did not include interviews conducted in Chinese or English. Due to limited resources, interviewer contributions were summarized during transcription.
