Matthews for contributing the article "Understanding the Role of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective". </p> <img

Role of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective" class="img-fluid rounded mb-4 lazyload"> <p>This paper delves into the concept of digital addiction, specifically focusing on the psychological and social impacts of excessive mobile game usage. The research examines how mobile gaming, particularly in free-to-play models, contributes to behavioral addiction, exploring how reward loops, social pressure, and the desire for progression can lead to compulsive gaming behavior. Drawing on psychological theories of addiction, habit formation, and reward systems, the study analyzes the mental health consequences of excessive gaming, such as sleep disruption, anxiety, and social isolation. The paper also evaluates preventive and intervention strategies, including digital well-being tools and game design modifications, to mitigate the risk of addiction.</p><p>Gamification extends beyond entertainment, infiltrating sectors such as marketing, education, and workplace training with game-inspired elements such as leaderboards, achievements, and rewards systems. By leveraging gamified strategies, businesses enhance user engagement, foster motivation, and drive desired behaviors, harnessing the power of play to achieve tangible goals and outcomes.</p><p>This research explores how storytelling elements in mobile games influence player engagement and emotional investment. It examines the psychological mechanisms that make narrative-driven games compelling, focusing on immersion, empathy, and character development. The study also assesses how mobile game developers can use narrative structures to enhance long-term player retention and satisfaction.</p><p>This research explores the potential of augmented reality (AR)-powered mobile games for enhancing educational experiences. The study examines how AR technology can be integrated into mobile games to provide immersive learning environments where players interact with both virtual and physical elements in real-time. Drawing on educational theories and gamification principles, the paper explores how AR mobile games can be used to teach complex concepts, such as science, history, and mathematics, through interactive simulations and hands-on learning. The research also evaluates the effectiveness of AR mobile games in fostering engagement, retention, and critical thinking in educational contexts, offering recommendations for future development.</p><p>This research examines the concept of psychological flow in the context of mobile game design, focusing on how game mechanics can be optimized to facilitate flow states in players. Drawing on Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s flow theory, the study analyzes the relationship between player skill, game difficulty, and intrinsic motivation in mobile games. The paper explores how factors such as feedback, challenge progression, and control mechanisms can be incorporated into game design to keep players engaged and motivated. It also examines the role of flow in improving long-term player retention and satisfaction, offering design recommendations for developers seeking to create more immersive and rewarding gaming experiences.</p> <p> <a href="/redirect/?url=https://blog-447027589133.gifthub.news/post/7509423186" target="_blank" class="custom-link">Link</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.linegames.org/"
