  221.                            <p class="info">This study examines the role of social influence in mobile game engagement, focusing on how peer behavior, social norms, and social comparison processes shape player motivations and in-game actions. By drawing on social psychology and network theory, the paper investigates how players' social circles, including friends, family, and online communities, influence their gaming habits, preferences, and spending behavior. The research explores how mobile games leverage social influence through features such as social media integration, leaderboards, and team-based gameplay. The study also examines the ethical implications of using social influence techniques in game design, particularly regarding manipulation, peer pressure, and the potential for social exclusion.</p>

  248.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the globalization of mobile gaming, focusing on the cultural, economic, and technological dimensions of the mobile game industry. It examines how mobile games transcend national borders, shaping global entertainment trends, cultural exchanges, and consumption patterns. The study analyzes the role of international distribution platforms, such as app stores and online marketplaces, in facilitating cross-border gaming experiences, while also considering the impact of localization strategies on cultural representation and game design. Furthermore, the research investigates the economic implications of mobile game globalization, including market entry strategies, pricing models, and the influence of local regulations.</p>
