Hello dear research or gaming interested person,
This is my first real update since setting up the webpage. I have decided to rework it slightly because I think this will better serve its intended purpose. The main change is that I will post my progress and updates not on a page that will get ever longer with more content, but in a kind of blog. The previous page, now titled "Details", will instead be used as dump for more information on the things I mention here. So here it is my blog's first post! Over the past months my study has made some progress. Most notably, the piloting phase has been concluded and the responses of over 300 participants have been analysed. My thanks to everyone who has participated! The main results of the pilot questionnaires are that I have scrapped my wellbeing questionnaire (it did not perform as well as intended), and that I have a new model underlying the game usage questionnaire. Exploratory Factor Analysis (an approach to make sense of quantitative data) of responses indicates the existence of 9 aspects, rather than 7, that are relevant to describe and distinguish how players use games. My next stop: Initiating the main study.
