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.
Joys of Absence: Emotion, Emotion Display, and Interaction Tension in Video G...Sebastian Deterding
Paper presented at Foundations of Digital Games 2015: While Erving Goffman’s work on frames has found broad adoption in game research, his sociological theory of gameplay enjoyment as “euphoric ease” has not been probed, although it is one of the few theories of gameplay enjoyment focusing what is absent in gameplay. Because spontaneous and socially demanded emotional involvement often align in gameplay, Goffman holds, it lacks the effortful self-regulation of conduct and emotion typical for everyday life. This paper presents an empirical grounding of Goffman’s theory, drawing on a qualitative interview study on social norms of emotion regulation in video game play. Data suggests that the absence of active emotional self-control may indeed be a hygiene factor of game enjoyment most strongly found in solitary gameplay, afforded by a socio-material setting licensing the display of gaming-typical emotions, and shielding form potentially disapproving onlookers.
It's the Autonomy, Stupid: Autonomy Experiences Between Playful Work and Work...Sebastian Deterding
A core tenet of traditional play theories is that play is voluntary. This view has been troubled by recent empirical phenomena of "instrumental play" and "playbour": instances where play is mandatory, has serious consequences attached or is done as gainful labour, such as goldfarming. Similarly, people are increasingly using game design elements in non-game contexts like work to make them more playful and engaging. This talk suggests that the conceptual troubles of playbour and gamification can be resolved by focusing on autonomy as a psychological state: how much autonomy people experience informs whether they understand and a label an activity as "work(-like)" or "play(ful)". Drawing on a qualitative interview study with participants engaging in instrumental play, the talk will tease out how social and material features of gaming and work situations support and thwart autonomy experience and thus, their understanding as "work" or "play."
Experience design is not about shiny new digital technology - apps, touch screens, games, beacons, the works. It is a different perspective on exhibition and museum design, and a different process as a result. My talk at the Museum Association's 2017 Moving on Up event in Edinburg, February 28, 2017.

Paideia as Paidia: From Game-Based Learning to a Life Well-PlayedSebastian Deterding
»Gamification« has sparked the imagination of many for the potential of games in education, but turned away an equal amount within the games and learning community with its disregard for the complexities of design and human motivation.
However, this talk suggests that there is a deeper reason for the negative reaction in the games and learning community: namely, that gamification really provides a distorted mirror that throws into stark relief issues in today's game-based learning at large.

Doing so reveals a triple agenda for the field: to expand from deploying games as interventions in systems to the gameful restructuring of systems, and from designing games to the playful reframing of situations; and to shift from the instrumentalization of play and learning to paideia as paidia.

Players Imbuing Meaning: Co-creation of Challenges in a prototype MMOMirjam Eladhari
This talk discusses how components in a game world, from both a systemic design perspective, and from an actual content perspective, can carry meaning relevant to individual players.
The discussion is grounded in work with a massively multi player online (MMO) prototype where players in guided play-tests created their own opponents that they battled in groups of three. The opponents are called Manifestations, and can be compared to the “boss monsters” that in adventureand role-plying games pose the greatest challenges in terms of tactical game play, or battle. When creating Manifestations players define how these shall behave in play, and what they say under different circumstances. The game play mechanics in the world is centered on emotions and social relations. One of the design goals in the creation of the prototype was to cater for a system wheretactical game play can be closely tied to the potential narrative contents.
The Manifestations players created in the play tests were of four main categories; reflections of persons they had complicated relationships to in real life, difficult situations, abstract concepts, or purely fictional entities. In several cases players brought material into the game that had personal meaning to them. These meanings were developed further when players saw how their Manifestation behaved within the rule system of the world. For example, one player created a Manifestation of an anticipated exam, while another made a Manifestation called “Mother”. The Mother cast spells called “Focused Aggression” and “Cold Ripple of Fear”. It was able to perform acts called “Blame”, ”Threaten”, and “Disagree”. The group experimented with tactical choices, while reasoning about the Mother’s potential motivations. They managed to overcome the Mother by alternating between giving each other resistance and casting spells, the winning stroke being a rapid series of spells called “Forgive”.
The talk was given at ITU in Copenhagen April 24, 2012 in the Game Lecture series.

Presentation given at Interaction'12, February 3, 2012, Dublin, Ireland. Interest in persuasive design for behavior change has been growing rapidly in interaction design in the past years. In part thanks to that, we as designers now have ample tools and pattern libraries to inspire us. What we are lacking, however, are focus and guidance in applying them. Usually, we get those from user research. But current research methods and deliverables arguably do not provide ready springboards.
This presentation demonstrates how to use the Motivation Ability Opportunity (MAO) model as a tool to structure user research around a single behavior to be changed, and to guide subsequent design in prioritizing issues to tackle and ideating ways to tackle them.

"Everything I need to know I learnt from World of Warcraft": why we might need to start asking better questions about games, simulations and virtual worlds
Like many areas of educational technology research, a lot of the work that focuses on games, simulations and virtual worlds consists of case studies that demonstrate proof of concept, enthusiastic position pieces or success stories. All of this is important: we need to know what sort of things we can use these technologies to do, so as to build a broader repertoire of teaching practices. However, this kind of focus neglects a range of other questions and issues that may prove more important in the longer term.
For example, educational research about games typically emphasises the way that playing motivates players; it ignores how successful games (such as massively multiplayer online games) often feel like work, and it also glosses over the way that bringing a game inside the curriculum changes the way that 'players' relate to it. There are also inconsistencies in the way games are thought about: the idea that they cause violence is often criticised as over-simplistic, yet the idea that they cause learning isn't. In virtual worlds, opportunities to create new identities is widespread, but questions about how this relates to our embodied relationships are rarely asked. In simulations, 'realism' is celebrated - but this means that simulations will always be second best to actual experiences, and it ignores how groups can disagree about whether something is realistic or not. Across this work, the complexity of learning and teaching seems hidden by the desire to promote the value of these technologies.
This talk will offer some examples of work that, in small ways, try to engage with these kinds of issue. Different priorities will be suggested, which invite a new kind of engagement with research and practice in this area.
This deck is based on a paper we wrote for the SAMRA 2011 conference. It's a short introduction to some of the ideas underlying the concept of "gamification".
It also details the results from a simple experiment we conducted to measure the effectiveness of gamifying an online community. We were restricted by a tight deadline and the existing capabilities of the online platform we partnered with, but the results are still pretty clear (although small base sizes makes it difficult to draw solid conclusions). To follow up these tantalising results, we are writing another paper for ESOMAR Congress that collects more numbers describing the effectivness of gamification.
I had a lot of fun illustrating the deck. Hope you enjoy reading it.

Be it playful design or gamification: It usually takes about five minutes until the Mary Poppins tune “Spoonful of Sugar” is evoked. This talk will explain why this reference is both true and false, how the movie entails two radically divergent theories of fun that match what we know in psychology and educational research, and how to translate this into designing for fun.

Gamification in health behaviour change produces muddled results. Why? Because game design elements, behaviour change techniques, etc. are too decontextualised and underspecified to guide design implementation.

City Games: Up and Down and Sideways on the Ladder of AbstractionSebastian Deterding
Like games and everyday life, games and cities have been intersecting in two primary ways: modelling the city in an abstract view from above, with planning games and urban simulations, and transforming people's everyday urban experiences and behaviors with playful interventions on the ground. Neither one, this talk argues, has been particularly successful in creating lasting improvements in citizen's well being. To accomplish this, we need to take game design seriously and look sideways at the messy middle between map and territory, the processes in which one is translated into the other (or not).

Gamification promises a new, data-driven take at a science of design: establishing what design features cause what psychological and behavioural effects. But to realise this promise, it needs theory.
The Lens of Intrinsic Skill Atoms: A Method for Gameful DesignSebastian Deterding
Presentation at CHI 2016. The idea that game design can inspire the design of motivating, enjoyable interactive systems has a long history in human-computer interaction. It currently experiences a renaissance as gameful design, often implemented through gamification, the use of game design elements in nongame contexts. Yet there is little research-based guidance on designing gameful systems. This article therefore reviews existing methods and identifies challenges and requirements for gameful design. It introduces a gameful design method that uses skill atoms and design lenses to identify challenges inherent in a user’s goal pursuit and restructure them to afford gameplay-characteristic motivating, enjoyable experiences.
At least since the first new economy, playful design has invaded the working world. Today, the offices of startups, digital agencies, and web companies like Google often look more like playgrounds than work spaces. According to a recent survey in the UK, 80% of managers believe that playful office spaces can motivate employees. On closer look, however, their playfulness often bottoms out in bright colors, round shapes -- and the proverbial slide. This talk asks what it might mean to make work environments truly playful, what effects it has on well-being -- and whether we can make people play. Presentation given at Stanford University mediaX, May 10, 2016.
In this paper from the Tampere Spring Seminar in Game Studies "Money and Games", I argue that game studies should systematically explore how economic condition afford and constrain game aesthetics.
Game Engines in Game Education: Thinking Inside the Tool Boox?Sebastian Deterding
Should apprentices of a craft master one tool, making themselves dependent on it? Or become fluent in many? Should they use pre-made parts? Or should they learn how to make everything from scratch, even if that doesn't reflect actual practice? These eternal questions of craft education have become relevant for game educators with the rise of game engines like Unity. This talk will reveal firsthand experiences and strategies used to deal with the opportunities and challenges of integrating game engines in game education. / My and Casey O'Donnell's talk at the GDC Education Summit 2016.

11. autonomy in SDT
• Action is energised and directed by three basic
psychological needs: autonomy, competence,
relatedness
• All motivations range from controlled to
autonomous, external to internal locus of causality
• Individuals potentially energised by multiple
motivations at the same time; sum determines
overall experienced level of autonomy
• Motivational »significance« of social-contextual

• Video gaming can satisfy intrinsic needs, which can
explain part of video game play enjoyment (1)
• Some studies on in-game autonomy support

• Studies on video gaming context mainly explored

• Many studies on social contexts supporting or

• Salient autonomy with meaningful choice (impacts
game world, no faux choice) & open spaces (1)
• Salient controlled motivation related to expectations
and values
• expected action is thwarted (invisible walls,
‘logical’ move impossible)
• expected choice not provided (‘railroad’ levels)
• cut scenes, QTE take away expected agency
• progress requires action against player’s values
(1) Cf. Ryan, Rigby & Przybylski 2006; Rigby & Ryan 2011
20. Situational autonomy support
• Autonomy in play is taken for granted: Interviewees
recalled mainly moments of controlled motivations
as noteworthy, labelling them »work«, »not play«
• Playing in low-autonomy contexts is less enjoyable
& emotional, more effortful, pressured, detached
• Both leisurely and low-autonomy contexts hold
experiences of controlled motivation
• They become salient when spontaneous interests
and provided choices mismatch and controlled
motivations keep players to given choices
21. P3: And as a reviewer you have to look: How does an, an adventure
like Heavy Rain, which plays a lot with the freedom to act, and
suggests it, there you have to- as a normal, contemplative player you
just play it through, and afterwards you think: ‘Maybe I’ll do it again.’
And here you indeed have to play the same scenes immediately again
and look, how, what is different, so. [That is]
Interviewer: [That is,] you have to actually exhaust the possibility
space?
P3: Exactly, yes. Yes, yes. You are forced to do it, it’s no longer an
optional possibility. Whenever you’re forced to do something, then in
becomes more work. (P3-2/669-672)
game features and context interact
22. In::: 95 percent of the cases no. It's still a hobby. You- it's still a
passion. You enjoy playing it, also because something like:: a
professional level comes in, money and you get around and you
get to know new people. That's nice, no question. And those
remaining five percent, those are the percentages where you
say: <<Hm, not training again from seven to ten pm? Now I
could have gone to the movies with my girlfriend.>> For
example. Where you would say: <<I so would have wanted to
go with her to the movies. Damn, damn, damn. Why do I have
to train now?>> (P16/97-99)
…with current goals & interests
23. controlling lack of choice
• Whether and when to start playing
• What game to play
• How to play (goal-focused vs. explorative)
• Whether and when to achieve game states
• When to stop gaming
• Whether and how to self-regulate emotion display
24. P9: When I in principle have no time limit, that is, when I can
say, I can play until I say: <<I don't want to anymore.>> No
appointments and no obligations, both inside the game and
outside of the game, then I find, that's an experience of
freedom. (P9/308)
freedom of choice
25. Then also simply games you actually, somehow, don’t want to
play. So that’s something that you have to bring yourself to do,
to play games you would not voluntarily play. Yes perhaps also
to ruin the game with walkthroughs, save games or cheat
codes. So that’s something one does intentionally. And well, I
would never do that otherwise. Yes, in the end, everything to,
to, what, what’s helpful to reach the goal you set before.
(P10/380-382)
game choice
26. • Low-autonomy contexts
• Professional reputation
• Material consequence (prize money, workload)
• Verbal sanctions from superiors and peers
• Leisurely contexts
• Social norms of reciprocity, harmony, politeness
• Reputation (if gaming is tied to identity)
• Loss or attainment of in-game resources
controlling motivations
27. So with other games it was never like that, that I would go even
if I didn't feel like it. With WoW you had, especially with WoW
there somehow was a social, yes, somehow, a social coercion
behind it. Because of, as I said, this reputation and then also
the social contexts that you maintained through it. Or found
there. That they moved you to go there. Because I think, that's
the thing with sport. That you don't feel like training in the
evening, or something, and you still go there. Because you feel
socially obliged somehow. (P19-2/68-78)
social norms
28. Because then ((when money is involved)) there's the pressure
that you have to win. Of course, everybody who plays wants to
win somehow. Or have some successes, at least. Otherwise
you wouldn't play, presumably. Bu::t when it's about money,
that's a real thing, and that you have to work hard for. That
wouldn't have a playful character for me then. (P8/297-303)

31. Conclusion & Ramifications
• Autonomy support in video gaming involves a
situational meta-process of configuration & dis/
engagement
‣ Calls for more ecological studies on situational
processes of gaming enjoyment
• Gamification and serious games in low-autonomy
contexts face potentially serious challenge
‣ Calls for more studies on effects of situational
autonomy support
32. future research
• Operationalisation and experimental testing of
model
• Testing of relation between autonomy experience
and play experience in video gaming
• Testing of effect of autonomy experience on
productivity in gamification of work
• Testing of effect of autonomy experience on learning
outcomes in educational games
