BONKALO, Tatiana et al. Public attitudes to esports development based on the survey of university students and sports psychologists. Conrado [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.87, pp. 346-351.  Epub 02-Ago-2022. ISSN 1990-8644.

The online survey included 1,200 Russian university students aged between 19 and 26 years, as well as 153 sports psychologists aged between 26 and 45 years, working in children and youth sports schools and other children's sports centers. Developed diagnostic tools, aimed to identify the attitude of respondents to eSports, included both questions with suggested answers, and questions requiring free statements. Mathematical processing of the survey data meant the calculation of percentages, as well as content analysis of the respondents' answers. The research has shown that modern society as a whole is not yet ready to perceive eSports as a type of sport activity, that many young people from educational institutions and qualified specialists engaged in children's sports institutions do not see the prospects in the eSports development and perceive it either as a “harmful activity” or as a “money-making tool”.
