Abstract This study investigates a video game's effects on implicit and explicit attitudes towards depicted historical events in the short‐ long‐term sample of 148 young adults. We used, as an intervention tool, serious game Czechoslovakia 38–89: Borderlands that deals with expulsion Sudeten Germans from former after WWII. Results showed more negative pretest‐posttest attitude changes general level ( d = −0.34) specific −0.53) compared to control group. Over long‐term, group differences...
Video games are increasingly portraying many topics that we face in our everyday lives. Yet have only limited evidence about the way narrative affect how think they depict; other words, link between these and attitude change. Therefore, conducted a meta-analysis of video games' effect on attitudinal The findings suggest players' attitudes towards depicted games. This was present studies focused changes both implicit (g = 0.36, k 18) explicit 0.24, 101). Longer intervention duration game...
Abstract Background Existing studies confirm that some video games can change players' attitudes. However, since we do not know the specific elements responsible for attitude change, potential of to achieve desired educational or behavioural outcomes often remains unfulfilled. Objectives To fill research gap, our study examined whether perspective‐taking game mechanic in serious Czechoslovakia 38–89 : Borderlands , which had previously been shown affect attitudes, would have same effect on...
Despite extensive research on attitudes and a rapid growth of the video game market, there is currently no meta-analysis mapping link between narrative games attitude change. Here, we present such meta-analysis. The findings suggest that affect players’ towards topics depicted in games. This effect was studies focused changes both implicit (g = 0.36, k 18) explicit 0.24, 101), with longer intervention duration mechanics as stereotyping meaningful feedback resulting larger Regarding...
Video games have become one of the most widespread forms media in 21st century, bringing interactive digital narratives to over 3 billion people globally. Like other media, video feature topics from our society, culture, and history. Research has shown that narrative-driven a unique potential influence explicit implicit attitudes toward they depict.

There are some studies on the educational potential of game jams, but their number seems insufficient given hundreds thousands jam participants every year. What emerges as largest research gap is industry perspective: its involvement in jamming and motivations for doing so. This study a reaction to this gap. Current defined benefits how these relevant radically underresearched. Clarifying missing link might be essential widespread use jams platforms collaboration between academia industry....
Instructional quizzes are frequently used in educational games. When they present correct answers after learners have responded, these can be on their own for teaching new factual and conceptual knowledge (no additional learning materials needed). In games, often unrelated to gameplay: gameplay viewed as a reward answering quiz questions. This has been criticized game-based literature “chocolate-covered-broccoli” approach. However, is it really bad approach? Theories offer conflicting...
Learning grammar requires practice and practicing can be boring. We examined whether an instructional game with intrinsically integrated mechanics promotes this practice: compared to rote learning through a quiz. did so “in the field.” Tens of thousands children visited, in their leisure time, public website tens attractive online games for during 6-week-long period. Of these children, 11,949 picked voluntarily our training intervention. Thereafter, unbeknown them, they were assigned either...
