Professional digital gaming has established itself as e-sport. The gendered usage of digital games has an impact on the social structure of participants in the professional realm: gamers, organizers, commentators and fans are mostly identified as white men. The background of this phenomena are streaming platforms, where harassment is experienced by most female identified gamers at some point. The community has never been silent about these problems, but how to deal with the gender gap in tournament participants is another question. Gender segregation can facilitate visibility and solidarity – but is this an unnecessary dramatization of the socially constructed line? Do these segregations maybe just reinforce stereotypes? What does it mean for female identified people to participate? And how do gaming communities react? The paper discusses problems and possibilities of female-only tournaments with vivid examples from different games and takes diverse perspectives of (female) gamers, fans and organizations into consideration, while pointing out crucial facts about the topic.

Evolutionary Interpretation

The ultimate causes of sex differences in human aggressive behavior can lie mainly in evolved, inherited mechanisms that differ by sex or mainly in the differing placement of women and men in the social structure. The present commentary contrasts Campbell's evolutionary interpretation of aggression sex differences with a social structural interpretation that encompasses a wider range of phenomena.

General Law

In the article, on the basis of the general law of cultural development, a dynamic model of the Internet as a social and psychological object is formulated, a conceptual apparatus of research is formalized and definitions of social and psychological factors of youth aggressive behavior on the Internet and socio-psychological predisposing factors of aggressive behavior are introduced. The purpose of the article is theoretical analysis and substantiation of social and psychological factors of youth aggressive behavior on the Internet. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following main research objectives: to analyze and develop a dynamic model of the development of the Internet as an object of social and psychological research; formalize ideas about social and psychological factors of youth aggressive behavior on the Internet; to identify and substantiate the socio-psychological factors of youth aggressive behavior on the Internet and to classify them. The methodology of the work is based on the general genetic law of cultural development and the systematic general representation of cyberspace by the youth. The classification and main socio-psychological factors of youth aggressive behavior on the Internet were developed: predisposing factors (personal and cyberspace environments) and situational factors (factors reflecting the objective and subjective components of the social virtual situation). It is shown that the field of application of the results is training programs for reducing the aggressive behavior of young people in cyberspace. The problem of researching the system of social and psychological factors that determine the aggressive behavior of young people on the Internet has highlighted the urgent task - substantiation of social and psychological factors of aggressive behavior of young people on the Internet.

Social Orders

AbstractA characteristic of children's social orders is gender segregation. When children can choose, girls play more with girls and boys with boys. This begins around age three and peaks in later childhood. If children separate into same-gender groups, their interactions across the gender line will not be as frequent as those with members of the same sex. Following on Bloomfield's assertion (1933:46) that “density of communication” results in the “most important differences of speech” within a community, I predict that differences will increasingly emerge between girls and boys. I test this using two sociolinguistic variables, (dh) and (ing), in the English spoken by children in an elementary school. The prediction is supported. Results contribute to research into language socialization and the acquisition of gendered linguistic expression.
