  194.                            <p class="info">This paper examines the intersection of mobile games and behavioral economics, exploring how game mechanics can be used to influence economic decision-making and consumer behavior. Drawing on insights from psychology, game theory, and economics, the study analyzes how mobile games employ reward systems, uncertainty, risk-taking, and resource management to simulate real-world economic decisions. The research explores the potential for mobile games to be used as tools for teaching economic principles, as well as their role in shaping financial behavior in the digital economy. The paper also discusses the ethical considerations of using gamified elements in influencing players’ financial choices.</p>

  221.                            <p class="info">This research examines how mobile games facilitate the creation and exploration of digital identities through avatars and personalized in-game experiences. The study investigates the psychological and sociocultural effects of avatar customization, including how players express aspects of their personality, race, gender, and social identity in virtual environments. Drawing on theories of identity formation, social psychology, and media studies, the paper explores how mobile games can influence players' self-concept, self-esteem, and social interactions both within and outside of game worlds. The research also addresses the ethical implications of identity representation in games, particularly with regard to inclusivity and the reinforcement of social stereotypes.</p>

  248.                            <p class="info">This research investigates the ethical and psychological implications of microtransaction systems in mobile games, particularly in free-to-play models. The study examines how microtransactions, which allow players to purchase in-game items, cosmetics, or advantages, influence player behavior, spending habits, and overall satisfaction. Drawing on ethical theory and psychological models of consumer decision-making, the paper explores how microtransactions contribute to the phenomenon of “pay-to-win,” exploitation of vulnerable players, and player frustration. The research also evaluates the psychological impact of loot boxes, virtual currency, and in-app purchases, offering recommendations for ethical monetization practices that prioritize player well-being without compromising developer profitability.</p>
