cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques into mobile game design to promote mental health and well-being. The study investigates how game mechanics, such as goal-setting, positive reinforcement, and self-reflection, can be used to incorporate CBT principles into mobile games aimed at addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Drawing on psychological theories of behavior change, the paper examines the efficacy of mobile games as tools for delivering therapeutic interventions and improving mental health outcomes. The research also discusses the challenges of designing games that balance therapeutic goals with entertainment value, as well as the ethical considerations of using games as therapeutic tools.</p> <a href="https://blog-108143068394.mit-edu.top/post/1285390764" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/2.jpg" alt="Modeling Decision Fatigue in Freemium Game Environments" title="Modeling Decision Fatigue in Freemium Game Environments" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Stephen Hamilton</strong> <span>2025-02-07 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-108143068394.mit-edu.top/post/2483056197"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/20.jpg" alt="Economic Stability in Player-Driven Virtual Marketplaces" title="Economic Stability in Player-Driven Virtual Marketplaces" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-2483056197.mit-edu.top/post/2483056197/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-07</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-108143068394.mit-edu.top/post/2483056197">Economic Stability in Player-Driven Virtual Marketplaces</a></h2> <p class="info">This study analyzes the psychological effects of competitive mechanics in mobile games, focusing on how competition influences player motivation, achievement, and social interaction. The research examines how competitive elements, such as leaderboards, tournaments, and player-vs-player (PvP) modes, drive player engagement and foster a sense of accomplishment. Drawing on motivation theory, social comparison theory, and achievement goal theory, the paper explores how different types of competition—intrinsic vs. extrinsic, cooperative vs. adversarial—affect player behavior and satisfaction. The study also investigates the potential negative effects of competitive play, such as stress, frustration, and toxic behavior, offering recommendations for designing healthy, fair, and inclusive competitive environments in mobile games.</p> <a href="https://blog-108143068394.mit-edu.top/post/2483056197" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/2.jpg" alt="Economic Stability in Player-Driven Virtual Marketplaces" title="Economic Stability in Player-Driven Virtual Marketplaces" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Lisa Walker</strong> <span>2025-02-07 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-108143068394.mit-edu.top/post/1593826470"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/7.jpg" alt="Analyzing Player Loyalty in Mobile Games Through a Multi-Dimensional Retention Framework" title="Analyzing Player Loyalty in Mobile Games Through a Multi-Dimensional Retention Framework" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1593826470.mit-edu.top/post/1593826470/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-07</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-108143068394.mit-edu.top/post/1593826470">Analyzing Player Loyalty in Mobile Games Through a Multi-Dimensional Retention Framework</a></h2> <p class="info">The gaming industry's commercial landscape is fiercely competitive, with companies employing diverse monetization strategies such as microtransactions, downloadable content (DLC), and subscription models to sustain and grow their player bases.
