The study examines how features such as leaderboards, friend lists, and social sharing options influence players’ motivations to engage with the game and spend money on in-game items. Drawing on social psychology and behavioral economics, the research explores how players' decisions are shaped by their interactions with others in the game environment. The paper also discusses the ethical implications of using social influence to drive in-game purchases, particularly in relation to vulnerable players and addiction risk.</p><p>This paper explores the psychological effects of mobile games on children and adolescents, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and social development. The study analyzes how exposure to different types of mobile games—ranging from educational games to violent action games—affects cognitive abilities, social skills, and emotional regulation. Drawing on developmental psychology and media studies, the research examines the short- and long-term implications of mobile gaming for children’s learning outcomes, attention span, and behavior patterns. The paper also considers the role of parents and educators in guiding children’s gaming experiences, offering recommendations for responsible gaming and age-appropriate game design.</p><p>This paper investigates how different motivational theories, such as self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), are applied to mobile health games that aim to promote positive behavioral changes in health-related practices. The study compares various mobile health games and their design elements, including rewards, goal-setting, and social support mechanisms, to evaluate how these elements align with motivational frameworks and influence long-term health behavior change. The paper provides recommendations for designers on how to integrate motivational theory into mobile health games to maximize user engagement, retention, and sustained behavioral modification.</p><p>This study presents a multidimensional framework for understanding the diverse motivations that drive player engagement across different mobile game genres. By drawing on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the research examines how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors—such as achievement, autonomy, social interaction, and competition—affect player behavior and satisfaction. The paper explores how various game genres (e.g., casual, role-playing, and strategy games) tailor their game mechanics to cater to different motivational drivers. It also evaluates how player motivation impacts retention, in-game purchases, and long-term player loyalty, offering a deeper understanding of game design principles and their role in shaping player experiences.</p><p>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> <p> <a href="/redirect/?url=https://blog-914264605604.mit-edu.top/post/8463725910" target="_blank" class="custom-link">Link</a> </p> <p><a

the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in personalizing in-game experiences in mobile games, particularly through adaptive gameplay systems that adjust to player preferences, skill levels, and behaviors. The research investigates how AI-driven systems can monitor player actions in real-time, analyze patterns, and dynamically modify game elements, such as difficulty, story progression, and rewards, to maintain player engagement. Drawing on concepts from machine learning, reinforcement learning, and user experience design, the study evaluates the effectiveness of AI in creating personalized gameplay that enhances user satisfaction, retention, and long-term commitment to games. The paper also addresses the challenges of ensuring fairness and avoiding algorithmic bias in AI-based game design.</p> <a href="https://blog-914264605604.mit-edu.top/post/2879601534" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/5.jpg" alt="Embedding Ethical Design in Mobile Game Monetization Mechanisms: Challenges and Opportunities" title="Embedding Ethical Design in Mobile Game Monetization Mechanisms: Challenges and Opportunities" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Linda Miller</strong> <span>2025-02-04 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-914264605604.mit-edu.top/post/6028751934"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/18.jpg" alt="Exploring Immersion Metrics in AR-Driven Mobile Game Experiences" title="Exploring Immersion Metrics in AR-Driven Mobile Game Experiences" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6028751934.mit-edu.top/post/6028751934/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-04</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-914264605604.mit-edu.top/post/6028751934">Exploring Immersion Metrics in AR-Driven Mobile Game Experiences</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper examines the rise of cross-platform mobile gaming, where players can access the same game on multiple devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
