Conflict Resolution and Videogames: Taking the Games out of Gaming Studies
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project's purpose was to experimentally determine whether strategies incentivized in a videogame influenced the strategies used by players in real world conflicts. The study tested for several strategies both inside and outside the context of a game. It was necessary to develop new experimental methodologies to test for a change in strategy because prior studies had used monitored play to test for changes in player behavior which due to the nature of games will not reflect real world decisions.
