This scatterplot shows the relationships between three video gaming characteristics (being motivated to play, being exposed to global warming content in games, and having more friends and family who play games) and three dependent variables (consumer activism intention, discussing global warming, and political action intention). Being motivated and having more friends and family who play video games is associated with discussing global warming and consumer activism intention, while being motivated to play is associated with greater political behavior intention.
