This study investigated the effects of casual video game play on psychological wellbeing. 21 participants played either Journey or Flower for 6 weekly sessions. Questionnaires before and after gameplay measured negative affect, psychological wellbeing, stress, and anxiety/depression. Analysis found that negative affect was significantly reduced after gameplay in weeks 2, 3, and 6, though the effect did not persist. Psychological wellbeing increased over time for those playing Flower but not Journey. No effects were found for stress, positive affect, or anxiety/depression. So casual games may provide psychological benefits by reducing negative affect and improving wellbeing.

This document discusses measuring engagement within educational multimedia environments and games using both covert and overt methods. It provides definitions of engagement in learning and gaming contexts. Various methods for measuring engagement are described, including observational analysis, physiological sensors, and subjective surveys/questionnaires. Specific examples are given around using physiological sensors like skin conductance and eye tracking to measure engagement levels during a Guitar Hero game. The goals of measuring engagement are to enable dynamic difficulty adjustment, expand learner demographics, and increase time on task.Gamification - Engineering happiness
This document discusses how gaming can provide solutions to make reality more engaging and meaningful. It outlines 14 "fixes" that games employ and how they could be applied to reality, such as: providing voluntary obstacles to challenge us, focusing our energy on things we enjoy, giving us a sense of purpose through clear goals and missions, improving our chances of success, and enabling stronger social connections and collaboration. The author argues that games reliably produce "flow" states and positive emotions that could help address issues like depression, hopelessness and disconnect in reality.

1. The study evaluated older adults' perceptions and attitudes towards digital brain training games and control puzzle games played on tablets over one month.
2. Participants found the brain training games to be more frustrating and less enjoyable than the control puzzle games. However, adherence was high for both.
3. Perceived cognitive benefits from gameplay, enjoyment, and challenge positively predicted motivation to play, which trended towards predicting adherence. Digital games should balance enjoyment and cognitive engagement for older adults.

An empirical analysis of ‘challenge’ as a motivational factor for educational...Lincoln Social Computing Research Centre
The document summarizes an empirical study that analyzed the role of challenge as a motivational factor in educational games. The study found that:
1) Half of participants chose to replay games where they had achieved a score of 80% or higher, suggesting players enjoyed reaching a high level of mastery.
2) Very few participants replayed games where they scored below 46%, and none replayed games where they scored between 72-82%.
3) The results indicate that forcing players to achieve mastery in educational games is acceptable and may not reduce motivation as concerns about appropriate challenge suggest. The concept of appropriate challenge in games requires reconsideration based on the study's findings.Team 1 Presentation
This presentation summarizes key points from the first part of the book "Reality is Broken" by Jane McGonigal:
1) McGonigal defines the four core traits of games as having a goal, rules, a feedback system, and voluntary participation.
2) She suggests reality lacks sufficient challenges and obstacles compared to games. Games focus our energy with optimism on things we enjoy and are good at.
3) McGonigal cites Tetris as an example of an addictive game due to its intense feedback system and ever-increasing challenges despite being impossible to truly "win".
The Emotional Impact of Cinema
The document discusses the results of a biometric study that compared people's emotional responses to commercials shown in movie theaters versus at home. Facial coding analysis found that people experienced 42% higher positive emotions like happiness when watching commercials in theaters, and scored lower on negative emotions. There is also research showing feelings of happiness lead to better recall of commercial content. The study concludes that the movie theater environment leads to significantly more engagement and positive emotional responses compared to viewing the same content at home.

This document discusses how cinema can provide a sense of place for audiences and impact their emotions. It contains the following key points:
1. Cinema can effectively provide a sense of place for viewers, as shown through the way locations become characters that shape the tone and themes of movies like Midnight in Paris, Gravity, The Life of Pi, and The Hurt Locker.
2. Research found that movie theater audiences experience more positive emotions like happiness and excitement compared to other media like TV, radio and online platforms. Theatergoers also feel less bored and are more attentive.
3. Market research with biometrics showed that films elicited stronger emotional responses like love when viewed in a cinema compared to
Video Games: Positive Agents Of Socializaiton
This document argues that video games can have positive effects on socialization by teaching positive social behaviors. It discusses concepts like the "magic circle" of immersion in games, "procedural rhetoric" of rule-based interactions, and the "half-real" balance of rules and fiction in games. Recent studies on prosocial games and environmental priming are cited as evidence that games can subtly influence players' social responses. When the magic circle, procedural rhetoric, and half-real occur simultaneously in a game, it allows players to internalize positive social behaviors from the emotions games generate.
Designing
1. The document discusses designing ethical dilemmas in video games to create more meaningful play experiences and unlock new player emotions beyond fear and aggression.
2. It outlines different types of ethical designs such as open systems that are affected by player choice and closed designs that subtly guide player actions and decisions.
3. The author argues that open designs allowing ambiguity are better for ethical dilemmas and advocates for narrative consequences, obstacles to different choices, and permanence of decisions to maximize player investment and impact of their choices.
TU107 - Zombie Salesapocalypse: Making an Epic 3-D Immersive Sales Video Game
Video games seem to be the perfect medium for helping people learn. However, few companies are able to invest the time and resources to create a video game–type learning module. This session, in a case study format, covers the steps taken to conceptualize, develop, and deliver an immersive 3-D game to teach sales concepts. Examine the required tradeoffs, discover where to find relatively low-cost 3-D assets, and learn how the combination of fantasy and branching story techniques help make the game engaging. We'll also examine how an underlying model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the learners' game play and provide constructive feedback to improve their performance in the field.
Happify
The document describes the development of a board game called Happify to educate the public about concepts of subjective well-being (happiness) in an engaging way. The game incorporates research findings on how memory, mood, and adaptation impact happiness over time. Volunteers created game mechanics and cards to illustrate how various life experiences and activities can positively or negatively influence subjective well-being. Through playtesting, they refined the prototype and hosted an event where over 30 people played and learned while enjoying the game. The creators were able to balance fun gameplay with conveying empirical research findings on happiness.
4 Keys and Psychology of Fun from Awareness to Impact GSummit
Standing on top of a temple in Egypt I had a vision of how to change the world with play. Games and work both require decisions, only games are often more engaging. Today we can use what people are naturally inclined to do to architect systems of engagement to better themselves and their world. We can use these games to succeed where corporations and public service institutions have failed. We can use the psychology of fun to create games of engagement to make us happier and smarter, help us achieve our goals, solve challenging problems like poverty and climate change.
Research shows that people who are in a happy engaged brain states are 50% more productive. We can use the emotions from play to create brain states that drive success in the workplace and in life. Over thirty years games have evolved techniques to create strong emotions that drive play. Ultimately these games can actually deliver public services, such as Tilt World a game to plant 1 million trees. http://bit.ly/TiltWorld
Movies like Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, viral videos like Kony 2012 raise awareness about important issues. Games, the medium of the 21st century, have the power to turn this awareness into action. In this talk we cover what brain states improve performance, how games create engagement to create these brain states, how to design the specific choices with the Four Keys to Fun, and ultimately how to amplify a game's impact on the player and the real world.
Engaging change: The awareness-action gap and the power of game design
The impact of human activities on the environment is widely documented and communicated, yet the profusion of information doesn't seem to be able to trigger a radical change in behaviors. An extra step is needed to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Games can be a powerful tool to help people engage with the abstract problems of sustainability and feel empowered to take action. How can we use the power of game design to influence real-life behavior?
Talk given in March 2015 at the Gamification World Congress Netherlands by Coline Pannier and Sofía Montuori
What makes a serious game engaging
The document discusses what makes serious games engaging and how to induce a state of flow in players. It provides examples of elements that can create engagement, such as clear goals, feedback, and an appropriate challenge level matched to the player's ability. A good serious game also has balance, focus, energy, tension, and developed characters. An example discussed is PeaceMaker, a serious game about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that provides insights by having players take on roles from both sides.
University of ontario lecture
This document discusses how serious games can be used for positive purposes beyond entertainment. It defines serious games as true games that achieve effects beyond just the gaming experience. Serious games are presented as a better approach than gamification, which is criticized for reducing games and not being realistic. Examples are given of how serious games can be used for health, education, and social change by motivating players, explaining concepts through interactive experiences, and using procedural rhetoric to persuade. Guidelines are suggested to ensure serious games are designed and used ethically.
Narrative and Nurturing study, Lieberman, Games for Health 5-9-08
Presents posttest-only preliminary findings from an experiment comparing three versions of a health game with high versus low amounts of dramatic narrative. It contrasts high narrative versions of the game with a low narrative version that puts more focus on game-play challenges instead of story line.
Fun and Frustration = Learning and Games
This document discusses the relationship between games, learning, fun and frustration. It argues that games are not just about fun, as fun has a limited lifespan, but can also be pleasantly frustrating. It explores concepts like flow, challenge, reward and failure in game design. It also examines how learning involves failure, doubt, curiosity and making connections. Games can facilitate creation, distribution and assessment of learning. When combined effectively, fun, frustration, games and learning complement each other in a both/and rather than either/or relationship.
The impact of video games
What happen when we playing games? this is most common problem we have. So to find a answer I did a survey using 20 of my colleagues.
GamingConference_2014
This study examined how people are perceived on Facebook based on their profile picture and friend count in terms of potential for friendship and employment. 92 participants viewed fabricated Facebook profiles that varied the number of friends (high vs. low) and type of profile picture (individual photo vs. group photo). Participants then rated each profile on scales of friendship and employment potential. Results showed that for females, a low friend count and individual photo led to higher ratings for potential employment, while a high count and group photo led to higher friendship ratings. For males, friend count and photo type did not impact employment ratings, but a high count and group photo received higher friendship ratings. The study provides insight into how quickly judgments are made from limited Facebook information.
CDC’s Program to Incubate Games for Public Health Awareness
After being awarded a second-round of innovation funding from Department of Health and Human Services Idea Lab in 2014, three CDC colleagues along with game industry partners produced a game developer challenge event: CDC/HHS Health Game Jam 2014, which focused on HIV Prevention strategies.
This talk describes structure of the event, including recruitment of HHS subject matter experts and contest judging criteria. A follow-up population study among >100 Atlanta-area teens yielded positive results of playing the winning game.
We will show that the federally supported game developer challenges provide an effective means of producing game prototypes which have impact among selected populations.

Situational Autonomy Support in Video Game Play: An Exploratory Study
This document summarizes an exploratory study on how social contexts can affect autonomy experience in video game play. The study found that video game play in both leisurely and low-autonomy contexts (such as for work) can involve experiences of controlled motivation when player choices and interests do not align with external expectations or consequences. A lack of choice over aspects of gameplay such as when and how long to play, game selection, and ability to disengage reduced experienced autonomy. The study suggests more research is needed on implementing situational autonomy support to improve enjoyment and outcomes of gamification and serious games used in controlled contexts.
Informing SoTL using playtesting techniques
Typical research methodologies in SoTL include many of the traditional educational research methodologies, yet there are methodologies in other disciplines and industries that can provide fresh perspectives. One of these industries is the videogame industry. While there are fundamental differences such as the fact that one seeks primarily to entertain and the other to enlighten or educate, the practices, processes, and theories behind playtesting games can be used to inform aspects of pedagogy that relate to engagement. The primary focus in game design is on the experience and there has been considerable research into ways to assess and measure the player experience through playtesting. Playtesting is concerned with such things as whether or not the game is fun, which parts are too easy or hard, whether and when people become bored, and with the player’s progression through the to the end. All of these properties have relevance to teaching and learning even though they may not appear to be directly connected with whether or not the learning objectives were met. Rather, playtesting is concerned with the motivation of the player/student to continue the particular course of learning, which speaks to the success of the methodology in capturing the student's imagination. Sometimes, simply taking a novel approach to evaluation can yield insights that were not uncovered by more common approaches. This presentation will provide a brief overview of formal playtesting procedures and highlight ways these approaches could be used in the classroom as well as how this could inform pedagogy.

The goal of playtesting is to ensure a game is functioning as intended, complete, balanced and fun. It recommends conducting iterative playtesting as a game develops to catch design issues. Key aspects of playtesting covered include finding suitable playtesters, running testing sessions, collecting both qualitative and quantitative feedback, and dealing with feedback received.
Schechner's performance studies frame
1. The document discusses different approaches to studying play and performance, including focusing on what people do during activities, integrating artistic practice into study, and using participant observation fieldwork methods.
2. It outlines Richard Schechner's framework for analyzing play, which examines the structure, process, experience, function, evolution, ideology, and framing of play acts.
3. The exercise asks participants to teach a childhood game to the group, then discuss the game's structure, rules, signaling of play, and whether the group found it enjoyable.

The document identifies four keys to creating emotion in games without relying on cutscenes or explicit storytelling:
1. Hard Fun - Generating emotions like frustration and accomplishment through meaningful challenges, strategies, and puzzles.
2. Easy Fun - Grabbing attention through ambiguity, incompleteness, and detail to create emotions like wonder and mystery.
3. Altered States - Stimulating senses and behaviors to produce emotions like excitement and relief from changes in mental state.
4. The People Factor - Enabling social experiences through competition, cooperation and spectacle to create emotions like amusement and schadenfreude.
Aspects of emotion
This document summarizes key aspects of emotion from a lecture on the biological, cognitive, and social aspects of emotion. It discusses theories of emotion such as the James-Lange theory and appraisal theory. The biological aspects include the role of the autonomic nervous system and distinct brain activity patterns for different emotions. Cognitive appraisal and attribution processes are described as influencing emotional experiences. Socially, emotions are communicated through facial expressions and shared between individuals.

mind of N - Play to become a better decision maker
This workshop aims to make people better decision-makers by using games to detect common cognitive biases like status quo bias, confirmation bias, and anchoring bias. The workshop involves an introductory session, playing three games tailored to expose specific biases, interpreting the results, and a discussion about understanding one's own biases and how to debias behavior. The goals are for participants to gain self-awareness of how their decisions are affected by biases and to learn tools to improve decision-making.

Title: To Play, or to Be?" The Psychology of Video Games
Title: To Play, or to Be?" The Psychology of Video GamesWest Virginia University - Department of Communication Studies
Abstract: The unquestioned popularity of video games as a pre-eminent source of entertainment has brought with it a renewed focus on the medium from the political and scholarly arenas. Games are an robust economic force, yet research tends to focus on their content as being "good" or "bad" rather than the experiences of the players themselves, which leaves our understanding of the phenomenology of the video game experience incomplete (at best) and inaccurate (at worst). To this end, Dr. Bowman's presentation will briefly review the current state of gaming research before suggesting ways in which scholars can pursue gaming research that compliments rather than replicates what has already been gleaned from more media effects-oriented studies, citing four exemplar studies.
Bio: Nick Bowman (Ph.D., Michigan State University) is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies at West Virginia University where he specializes in digital and social media technology - in particular, the motivations and uses of interactive media for entertainment, relational, informational and persuasive purposes. He has published nearly two dozen research articles in journals such as Computers in Human Behavior, Media Psychology, New Media and Society, and Journal of Communication and currently serves on the editorial board of Media Psychology and Journal of Media Psychology. He is an active member of National Communication Association and International Communication Association, and is an avid gamer of third- and fourth-generation video game consoles.Undergraduate_Thesis
This honors thesis examines how gender stereotypes in video games may influence players' choices to follow male or female leaders in an online game. The document provides background on research showing that video games are often used to study human behavior like cooperation. It reviews literature demonstrating that female characters tend to be sexualized and objectified more than male characters. The thesis aims to test if exposing players to different types of female avatars (over-sexualized, average, or masculine) affects their willingness to follow a male or female leader in an online game. The study uses confederates and questionnaires to assess players' choices and reasoning.
Presentation template v2.0
The document discusses an investigation into the effects of positive and negative reinforcement in a gamified environment. It describes a rhythm game designed to test four models: positive/negative reinforcement with or without visual effects. The researchers hypothesize that sound cues will affect player performance, positive reinforcement will be more effective than negative, and visual feedback will also impact performance. The game involves matching button presses to enemy types that follow the rhythm. The methodology and results are not fully described.
Playtesting for YETI RUN
The goal in this project is to design and develop a video game with original content that incorporates the principles of High Intensity Interval Training. HIIT principles are embedded into the gameplay and effectively translated into the game mechanics. We conducted a playtest after the second iteration in the design process.
