Survey Data on Virtual Product Purchases by Esports Gamers, 239 Respondents

239 esports gamers with prior purchase experience responded to an online survey distributed on Reddit. The dataset contains Likert-scale survey results used to test a multi-relational model (motivation-cognition-intention-behavior) for virtual non-functional product consumption in free-to-play games. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling in Mplus 8.8 and last updated on 2026-05 04.

Use Cases

• Testing structural equation models based on self-presentation motivation and purchase intention constructs.
• Analyzing generational differences in consumer behavior for virtual goods.
• Training predictive models for purchase behavior based on survey-derived attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control variables.

Strengths

• Data collected from 239 respondents with prior purchase experience, providing a focused sample.
• All constructs measured using established multi-item Likert scales, suggesting methodological rigor.
• Results include specific statistical coefficients (e.g., β=.246, p<.001) from the analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a very small dataset with limited scope.
