![]() Difficulty levels were created by manipulating the puzzle board size (all combinations of width and height from 4 to 8) and the number of unique tiles on the puzzle board (from 4 to 8). The goal of the Match-3 puzzle was to find configurations (target patterns) that could be turned into a row of 3 identical game objects (tiles) by swapping 2 adjacent tiles. ![]() The goal of the research was to test the feasibility of eye tracking during a puzzle game and develop adjunct markers for cognitive performance using eye-tracking metrics.Ī desktop version of the Match-3 puzzle game with 15 difficulty levels was developed using Unity 3D (Unity Technologies). Eye tracking provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of gaze, which is highly useful in understanding visual search behavior. ![]() They may help mediate impairments seen in cognitive decline in addition to being an assessment tool. Recent studies suggest that computerized puzzle games are enjoyable, easy to play, and engage attentional, visuospatial, and executive functions. This study concluded that in general, the undergraduate students in Suwon University have moderate health level and the students are still facing the consequences of the effects of addiction due to heavy usage on mobile and computer gaming. On the other hand, they also have moderate levels of depression and low level of social dysfunction. Through a quantitative survey among University of Suwon students, this study confirmed high level of daily routine activity, sleeping disorder, and anxiety. Hence, the current study attempted to determine the effect of virtual mobile and computer gaming on physical and health among undergraduate students at the University of Suwon (USW), South Korea. However, study in South Korea and China revealed that 24% of children in the respective country are diagnosed with heavy internet addiction especially in gaming. Playing games is considered one of the ways to socialize and meet around and create bonding. ![]() For marketers and developers, we suggest a differentiation between markets, a mechanism transparency, and an emphasis on socialization in freemium games.Įvery country is working on refining their latest technology to enables people to gain satisfaction in life. For analyses by both motivations and demographic attributes, we suggest a more differentiated picture including genre and platform considerations. Regarding demographics, while the studies which were analyzed to derive freemium gamers’ playing motivations have a dominance of female participants, the studies which were analyzed to derive freemium gamers’ paying motivations have mainly male participants. We further find that freemium game players who proceed to pay particularly name economic factors and applied, freemium game-specific mechanisms as motivations. Our results suggest that socialization and competition are common motivations for playing a freemium game, and we derive enjoyment to be a particularly important playing motivation for freemium games. For further characterization and a clear distinction from other gamer subgroups, this paper also contains an aggregation of playing motivations and demographic attributes of video game players in general, and of non-freemium game players. This paper presents a derivation of freemium game players’ playing and paying motivations and demographic attributes by aggregating the results of 17 studies. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed. The results of this study highlight the importance of parental and adolescent mental health in relation to mobile game addiction in adolescents through a longitudinal design. A mediation analysis was conducted using Hayes’s PROCESS macro (model 4) with bootstrapping, which showed that adolescent anxiety and loneliness at T2 mediated the relationship between parental anxiety at T1 and adolescent mobile game addiction at T3. The hierarchical regression analysis indicated that parental anxiety at T1 is positively associated with mobile game addiction in adolescents at T3. The study analyzed the factors engaged in the behaviors of mobile game addiction using three-wave panel data from the Game User Panel (GUP). Additionally, it examined the mediating effects of adolescent anxiety and loneliness on that association. This study longitudinally investigated the association between parental anxiety and mobile game addiction in adolescents.
