“Virtual Environments, Online Racial Discrimination, and Adjustment among a Diverse, School-Based Sample of Adolescents” offered for free access

Can We Protect Our Children from Online Hate & Discrimination?

By Elizabeth Leber on May 1, 2017
Are Majority of Voters Emotionally Driven During Election Season? A New Yorker cartoonist mentions “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog,” in the Harvard Business Review (HBR) article "Fixing Discrimination in Online Marketplaces." As virtual communications skyrocket, some individuals believe discrimination is a thing of the past because identity can be hidden behind an online presence. According to HBR and IGI Global scholarly research, the Internet is actually a primary source for hate and discrimination. Society is constantly evolving, which is why discrimination is taking a new form through text messages, social networking, online games and various other online modalities.

IGI Global's innovative research explores racial discrimination in adolescents in the article titled “Virtual Environments, Online Racial Discrimination, and Adjustment among a Diverse, School-Based Sample of Adolescents,” where a study is conducted with 627 sixth through twelfth graders in K-8 middle and high schools. The study evaluates minority groups and the discrimination they are facing in online versus offline settings to determine the need for clinicians, educational professionals and researchers who protect children from discriminatory issues.

This article is also featured in the International Journal of Gaming and Computer-Mediated Simulations (IJGCMS), a peer-reviewed, international journal devoted to the theoretical and empirical understanding of electronic games and computer-mediated simulations. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature; it publishes research from fields and disciplines that share the goal of improving the foundational knowledge base of games and simulations. IJGCMS publishes critical theoretical manuscripts as well as qualitative and quantitative research studies, meta-analyses and methodologically-sound case studies. The journal also includes book reviews to keep readers on the forefront of this continuously evolving field. Occasional special issues from the journal provide deeper investigation into areas of interest within either gaming or simulations.
