Being A Star In Your Trade Is A Matter Of Online Game Solitaire

Solitaire, also known as patience, is a popular single-player card game that has been around for centuries. As a common pastime, it has been a reliable source of entertainment for people of all ages. This observational study aims to explore the playing habits and behavioral patterns of people who engage in solitaire.

Observing people play solitaire, several behavioral patterns were noticed. Most people played to fill in spare time, between work tasks or while waiting for someone. Some played during breaks, while others played in the comfort of their homes. An interesting observation was that around half of the participants played solitaire while listening to music, often in an effort to focus or relax.

Another striking observation was the varying degree of speed in which people played solitaire. Some played the game in a calm and measured manner, taking their time to make each move, while others played quickly, rushing through the game with a more frenzied approach. The speed of play was particularly noticeable when participants had been playing solitaire for an extended amount of time. Some participants who had been playing the same game for half an hour or longer, appeared to play at a much faster pace than they did at the beginning of the game.

Another behavior worth discussing is the tendency for players to restart a game when they make a mistake. This could be perceived as a form of OCD or perfectionism. Some participants restarted games multiple times if they made a single mistake during gameplay. This behavior could be linked to the players’ need to achieve a perfect score, as well as their dislike of mistakes. Participants who exhibited this behavior also seemed to play solitaire in a more structured and rigid manner.

The positions in which participants played also differed. While some participants played the game while sitting on a couch or chair, watching TV or perhaps in bed before falling asleep, others preferred to sit at a table with good lighting. The table set-up appeared to influence the speed of the game, with players sitting at a table playing slower, while players in a more casual setting played at a more relaxed pace.

Interestingly, it was observed that people who played physical card decks appeared to play at a slower pace and showed fewer signs of frustration or anxiety than those who played solitaire on digital devices. This might be due to the tactile experience of using a physical deck of cards, which provides a feeling of control and mastery over the game.

In conclusion, solitaire is a complex phenomena that is not only influenced by personal preference but also by environment. It was observed that the playing habits and behavioral patterns of people who engage in solitaire vary widely, depending on factors such as speed, location, set-up and device used. The observations recorded in this study provide insights into the diverse world of solitaire play and may be useful for future studies aimed at looking more closely into the behavioral patterns of people who engage in solitary activities. Solitaire is a timeless, universally accepted game that will always serve as a popular pastime for people of all ages and backgrounds.
