ABSTRACT
A nationally representative survey of U.S. adolescents (N = 969) shows that otome game play is reported by 1 in 5 adolescents and 1 in 3 Black adolescents, is linked to use of character-based chatbots and voice assistants and perceptions of spending “too much” time with family, which suggests the need to examine how otome gaming intersects with social time and emerging AI-related risk.
