enhance players’ psychological empowerment by improving their self-efficacy and confidence through gameplay. The research investigates how game mechanics such as challenges, achievements, and skill development contribute to a player's sense of mastery and competence. Drawing on psychological theories of self-efficacy and motivation, the study explores how mobile games can be designed to provide players with a sense of accomplishment and personal growth, particularly in games that focus on skill-based tasks, puzzles, and strategy. The paper also explores the impact of mobile games on players' overall well-being, particularly in terms of their confidence and ability to overcome challenges in real life.</p> <a href="https://blog-747051817556.mit-edu.top/post/7862149530" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/19.jpg" alt="Game-Driven Approaches to Teaching Algorithmic Thinking in K-12 Education" title="Game-Driven Approaches to Teaching Algorithmic Thinking in K-12 Education" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Dorothy King</strong> <span>2025-02-01 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-747051817556.mit-edu.top/post/6125943870"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/9.jpg" alt="Ethical Implications of Biometric Data Use in Mobile Games" title="Ethical Implications of Biometric Data Use in Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6125943870.mit-edu.top/post/6125943870/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-747051817556.mit-edu.top/post/6125943870">Ethical Implications of Biometric Data Use in Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper examines the application of behavioral economics and game theory in understanding consumer behavior within the mobile gaming ecosystem.
