Hello, I have an interesting question to discuss with you, one of these days I was walking through the community of an online game and I saw a guy explaining why people used hack if it was not worth it as a skill (LMAO), I found the topic interesting because it generated many responses in the comments of toxic people but also from very thorough analyzes, the response of a psychologist caught my attention because I had to admit that this is exactly how I feel:
"The psychological processes are a matter of conjecture but cheating in general is associated with low self esteem and the need to empower themselves and to feel cleverer than others. Also online play fosters a disconnect from the victims (the non-cheaters) so it is a kind of victimless crime in the cheaters eyes. It seems that many cheaters don't have a well developed sense of the morality of fair play. For people that have developed a sense of right and wrong, the idea of cheating creates an internal conflict that induces anxiety. If someone starts cheating they may have some initial anxiety that diminishes as time goes on and they are receiving the rewards of success. If they are caught, especially on free site, they can just re-emerge with a new identity. Why do they get a reward from winning even though it is the engine that has achieved victory? I can only guess that like, hackers, they feel they are outsmarting the system. there may even be a component of "kicking the arse of those smart arse chess players". They get that feeling of superiority when they would normally be powerless even if it is a hollow victory. Somehow they must rationalise their behavior so there is no internal conflict. There are some people, like sociopaths and in the extreme, psychopaths, who have no guilty feelings to deal with when doing bad things. The potential to cheat is in all of us but fortunately the overwhelming majority of people do have robust moral compasses. I am not suggesting chess cheaters are akin to axe murderers!
So I would like to know your opinion, is he right? If not, what do you think about that?
