6 Investigating Experiences and Attitudes Toward Videogames 97
How did participants perceive the seven leisure activities? The statistical median
for each pair of adjectives and each activity was computed and plotted on graphics.
When all seven activities are plotted together, some patterns could be detected, but
they are more difficult to perceive. There seems to be a general trend for which
most leisure activities were evaluated. Graphically, no activity seems to be perceived
radically different from the others. A very few activities have gathered medians of
±3, which means that more than 50% of the participants evaluated the leisure in a
strong manner; those activities that gathered such high marks are physical activities,
reading, and watching TV.
In order to make sense of a particular activity, it can be plotted individually.
Let’s use the videogame activity as an example, as shown in Fig. 6.2.
