We conducted an experiment to examine individuals' perceptions of enjoyable and meaningful video games the game characteristics dimensions need satisfaction associated with enjoyment appreciation.Participants (N ═12) were randomly assigned 1 2 groups that asked them recall a they found either particularly fun or meaningful, then rate their recalled.Enjoyment was high for both groups, though appreciation higher in meaningful-than fun-game condition.Further, most strongly gameplay needs...
In this article, we present a detailed review of current practices and state-of-the-art methodologies in the field differential privacy (DP), with focus advancing DP's deployment real-world applications. Key points high-level contents article were originated from discussions "Differential Privacy (DP): Challenges Towards Next Frontier," workshop held July 2022 experts industry, academia, public sector seeking answers to broad questions pertaining its implications design industry-grade...
Abstract Emerging perspectives in media psychology have begun to focus on enjoyment and appreciation as unique reactions entertaining fare. Past work has found that game elements such gameplay mechanics narrative are significantly associated with both feelings – play more aligned appreciation. The current study looks extend this by establishing associations between of character attachment (CA) entertainment outcomes. Data from an online survey gamers randomly assigned consider enjoyable or...
The Drosophila Indy (I'm Not Dead Yet) gene encodes a plasma membrane transporter of Krebs cycle intermediates, with robust expression in tissues associated metabolism. Reduced INDY alters metabolism and extends longevity manner similar to caloric restriction (CR); however, little is known about the tissue specific physiological effects reduction. Here we focused on reduction midgut due importance intestinal homeostasis healthy aging longevity. mRNA changes response nutrition. Genetic...
Although there have been significant strides in terms of understanding motivations for esports participation and consumption, has limited research done with regard to the consumption specific games titles within esports. Previous work focused primarily on general. This study extends body by examining consuming NBA 2K content. Based use a quasi-experiment, results indicate that people consume esport ( 2K) different than generally. suggests should not be considered monolithic concept.
This study examines the largely underexplored intersection of sports spectatorship, information seeking, and entertainment theory. Specifically, this uses self-determination theory to explore how different gratifications predict an audience member’s enjoyment a sporting event. In three-condition experiment, participants performed search tasks using media guide, smartphone, or Google Glass. Results indicated that technology used did not directly impact but have indirect on via feelings...
Hypothesis testing is a useful statistical tool in determining whether given model should be rejected based on sample from the population. Sample data may contain sensitive information about individuals, such as medical information. Thus it important to design tests that guarantee privacy of subjects data. In this work, we study hypothesis subject differential privacy, specifically chi-squared for goodness fit multinomial and independence between two categorical variables. We propose new...
Purpose To understand how esports viewers perceive endemic and non-endemic sponsors during an event. Design/methodology/approach The researchers employed a four-condition experiment. Participants were randomly assigned to watch clip with one of four possible sponsors. After participants watched the stimuli, they responded questionnaire assessing their opinions sponsor in watched. Findings Generally, more was, positive audience members had. Perceptions credibility also important attitudes...

The local model for differential privacy is emerging as the reference practical applications collecting and sharing sensitive information while satisfying strong guarantees. In model, there no trusted entity which allowed to have each individual's raw data assumed in traditional curator privacy. So, individuals' are usually perturbed before them. We explore design of private hypothesis tests where entry ensure participant. Specifically, we analyze locally chi-square goodness fit independence...
We study the problem of top-$k$ selection over a large domain universe subject to user-level differential privacy. Typically, exponential mechanism or report noisy max are algorithms used solve this problem. However, these require querying database for count each element. focus on setting where data is unknown, which different than frequent itemsets an apriori type algorithm can help prune space elements query. design that ensures (approximate) $(\epsilon,\delta>0)$-differential privacy and...
Young adults who think a news website is personalized to their interests are more likely return the site than those do not has been for them. Findings suggest that fostering sense of group loyalty will make attractive young readers.
A key component differentiating interactive storytelling from non-interactive media is agency, or control over character choices. series of experiments show that providing agency a increased the user-character connection, which then engagement in character-consistent charitable act. Findings were observed technologically simple online narratives controlled for navigation/controller differences, graphics, sounds, lengthy play, and avatar customization. Effects emerged even though users did...
Composition is a key feature of differential privacy. Well-known advanced composition theorems allow one to query private database quadratically more times than basic privacy would permit. However, these results require that the parameters all algorithms be fixed before interacting with data. To address this, Rogers et al. introduced fully adaptive composition, wherein both and their can selected adaptively. They defined two probabilistic objects measure in composition: filters, which...
This study explores how sports media entertains audiences.A survey found that provides both enjoyable experiences and meaningful for audiences.In doing so, this illuminates why audiences.Watching can be understood as a hedonic experience is fun pleasurable, but shows consumption also deeper, gives insight into the human condition.This even an audience member who not enjoying event, they still might deriving meaning from event.Further, examines generate these mechanisms underlying phenomenon,...
