influence in mobile games, focusing on how social networks, peer pressure, and social comparison affect player behavior and in-game purchasing decisions. 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> <a href="https://blog-932137068170.mit-edu.top/post/1067928435" 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="The Use of Mobile Games to Combat Stereotypes in Media Representations" title="The Use of Mobile Games to Combat Stereotypes in Media Representations" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Kathleen Simmons</strong> <span>2025-02-05 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-932137068170.mit-edu.top/post/3915487206"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/15.jpg" alt="Security Vulnerabilities in AR-Based Games: An AI-Driven Threat Mitigation Approach" title="Security Vulnerabilities in AR-Based Games: An AI-Driven Threat Mitigation Approach" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-3915487206.mit-edu.top/post/3915487206/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-05</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-932137068170.mit-edu.top/post/3915487206">Security Vulnerabilities in AR-Based Games: An AI-Driven Threat Mitigation Approach</a></h2> <p class="info">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.
