This paper explores the video game Death Stranding as a shift in digital interactive media, emphasizing altruism, collaboration, and social connection its gameplay. The close reading of focuses on features that diverge from traditional norms, pivoting towards more empathetic, community-driven model identifies five domains analysis: narrative infrastructure; mechanics; player-to-player interactions; player-to-NPC player interactions agent. findings are discussed with possibility defining new genre, named by game’s creator “strand game” (Kojima, 2019a, 2019b). analysis reveals Stranding’s ability to create deeply immersive sense unity among players, demonstrating potential for future games prioritize positive mutual support.

Purpose This study explores how egoism and altruism as knowledge sharing motivations influence consumers’ electronic word of mouth (eWOM) intentions on food platforms. It also investigates the interaction effect eWOM through attitude toward use (ATU). Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted with 523 consumers who posted reviews Taiwan’s two leading The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to examine relationships between motivations, ATU, intentions. Findings Egoism having a more substantial impact. Their further enhances positive relationship ATU Originality/value fills empirical gap by demonstrating highlights role intrinsic in shaping consumer behavior digital platforms offers insights for businesses aiming foster engagement.

ABSTRACT In practice, multiple policy instruments are often combined to achieve complex goals. However, predicting whether mixes will have complementary or conflicting effects remains a theoretical challenge, especially in those aimed at changing individuals' cognition and behavior. We provide novel empirical insights into mix effectiveness by defining differentiating the behavioral assumptions embedded instruments, arguing that outcomes depend not only on within each instrument but also consistency of across instruments. conducted survey experiment Chinese city preparing build nuclear power plant (NPP; n = 417). After testing participants' acceptance NPP construction different scenarios (combining egoistic altruistic instruments), we found grounded consistent more effectively increased public acceptance. Thus, should be core principle when designing targeting change.

Gamification has received increasing attention in research and practice. Although narrations as gamification design elements are frequently implemented into gamified systems, specific content- context-related of only scarcely addressed. In this study, we varied the content narration for a virtual reality learning system by addressing either self-oriented (finding treasure) or other-oriented (rescuing person) motivational orientation. Further, context using similar dissimilar setting compared to subsequent setting. The results 2 (motivation: vs. other-oriented) × (context: dissimilar) between-subjects experiment with control group show that an orientation contrast one increases intrinsic motivation germane cognitive load, although could not find evidence improving performance any independent variables.

Location-based multiplayer games such as Pokémon GO are tied to real-world locations. Past research has demonstrated that, consequently, these influence where players move. In order explore what dynamics in incentivize travel specific places or areas, we engaged interviews with active players. We discovered 11 unique game dynamics, which could be positioned under three overarching themes: (1) the playing field, determined by placement of points interest, players' habitat and their surroundings; (2) player communities real life relationships, motivated directed playing; (3) coincidental motivational support, highlighted how location-based offer multi-layered motivation for to, engage with, Our study contributes fields gamified human mobility human-nature interaction elucidating playful technologies can when people

Crowdsourcing has been recently successfully used to gather rich geo data in location-based games such as Pokémon GO. However, the academic literature demonstrated that selected crowdsourcing practices have led reinforcement of existing geographic biases, favouring areas and urban neighbourhoods over poor rural areas. In this work, we investigate through two studies whether these biases could be mitigated by improving platform (Study 1) supporting tasks with open map resources 2). As an outcome first study, derived 15 recommendations across six thematic for optimising processes. follow-up a proof-of-concept work potential computationally improve point interest coverage particularly developing countries areas, highlighted utilising services build decision support systems assisting evaluation crowdsourced content.

Abstract Though social media is considered to enhance environmentally conscious behaviour, there has not been sufficient investigation on the effects of specific affordances pertaining green networks (GSN). Also, mechanism by which these affect pro‐environmental behaviour (PEB) explored in depth. Addressing research gaps, this study first introduces three context‐specific GSN affordances, such as self‐identification, broadcasting, and endorsement. Further, drawing inspiration from influence theory Stimulus‐Organism‐Response framework, put forth a novel framework that explains varying conceptualized PEB through mediating collective intention. The also indicates perceived informational emotional values moderators accentuate indirect PEB. Adopting time‐lagged multi‐wave online survey design, 314 valid responses were obtained. results moderated mediation analysis reveal that: (1) intention partially mediates relationships between broadcasting PEB, endorsement PEB; (2) fully relationship self‐identification effect positively values. Interestingly, are both These findings offer significant implications for researchers practitioners who look out communities promote actual
