This is explored through the HEXACO model, which derives HEXACO scores indicative of a particular personality profile. The model assesses the dimensions of honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. The investigation utilized a causal-comparative approach to examine personality differences. A sample of 855 teenage students attending private and public institutions in the Perak and Selangor states of Malaysia participated in the study. The sample contained 475 non-videogame consumers and 380 videogame consumers. The study revealed that videogame consumers have a personality profile that is significantly different on agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience compared to non-videogame consumers. Our study is first to utilize the HEXACO model to evaluate personality differences between videogame consumers and non-videogame consumers. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. date: 2022 publisher: Springer official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85085281517&doi=10.1007%2fs12144-020-00793-2&partnerID=40&md5=5964975e88d4c5cc630672efd7dab0d7 id_number: 10.1007/s12144-020-00793-2 full_text_status: none publication: Current Psychology volume: 41 number: 5 pagerange: 2733-2746 refereed: TRUE issn: 10461310 citation: Abbasi, A.Z. and Ting, D.H. and Hlavacs, H. and Wilson, B. and Rehman, U. and Arsalan, A.
