It explores how mobile games construct social identities through character design, narrative framing, and player interaction. The research examines the ways in which game developers can either reinforce or challenge societal stereotypes and cultural norms, with a particular focus on gender dynamics in both player avatars and character roles. Drawing on critical theories of representation, postcolonial studies, and feminist media studies, the study explores the implications of these representations for player self-perception and broader societal trends related to gender equality and diversity.</p> <a href="https://blog-affjyjij4.mit-edu.top/post/9217653840" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/3.jpg" alt="Mobile Game Mechanics as Tools for Conflict Resolution in Virtual Communities" title="Mobile Game Mechanics as Tools for Conflict Resolution in Virtual Communities" 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-affjyjij4.mit-edu.top/post/1493860527"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/17.jpg" alt="Sparse Neural Networks for Scalable AI in Massively Multiplayer Online Mobile Games" title="Sparse Neural Networks for Scalable AI in Massively Multiplayer Online Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1493860527.mit-edu.top/post/1493860527/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affjyjij4.mit-edu.top/post/1493860527">Sparse Neural Networks for Scalable AI in Massively Multiplayer Online Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This longitudinal study investigates the effectiveness of gamification elements in mobile fitness games in fostering long-term behavioral changes related to physical activity and health.
