Most of the authors are either psychologists or literary scholars. You may
try to use Google Translate to get a preliminary notion on the themes:
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=pl&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinylink.pl%2Fbibliografia_rpg&sl=pl&tl=en
.

Some of the authors may be reached via the message board of Games Research
Association of Poland: http://ptbg.org.pl/forum/viewforum.php?f=8.

I find it hard to generalize if the stuff is better in terms of quantity or
quality; some works are notable, some, well, less. I have not yet read
enough in English to be able to draw any comparisons. Hopefully, it will be
possible one day to integrate cross-language research - I suppose we might
have already started to do some translations if only we could get paid for
it. ;-)
