Mobile Games and Mental Wellness: Can They Help Manage Anxiety?

This paper offers a post-structuralist analysis of narrative structures in mobile games, emphasizing how game narratives contribute to the construction of player identity and agency. It explores the intersection of game mechanics, storytelling, and player interaction, considering how mobile games as “digital texts” challenge traditional notions of authorship and narrative control. Drawing upon the works of theorists like Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes, the paper examines the decentralized nature of mobile game narratives and how they allow players to engage in a performative process of meaning-making, identity construction, and subversion of preordained narrative trajectories.

Exploring Player Autonomy in Mobile Game Ecosystems

This research investigates the role of social media integration in mobile games and its impact on player social connectivity, collaboration, and competition. The study explores how features such as social sharing, friend lists, in-game chats, and social media rewards enhance the social aspects of mobile gaming. By applying theories from social network analysis and media studies, the paper examines how these social elements influence player behavior and game dynamics, including social capital, identity construction, and community formation. The research also addresses potential risks, such as privacy concerns, cyberbullying, and the commercialization of social interactions, and suggests ways to balance social connectivity with player well-being.

Mobile Gaming Communities: The Rise of Social Interactions on Mobile Platforms

This research examines the psychological effects of time-limited events in mobile games, which often include special challenges, rewards, and limited-time offers. The study explores how event-based gameplay influences player motivation, urgency, and spending behavior. Drawing on behavioral psychology and concepts such as loss aversion and temporal discounting, the paper investigates how time-limited events create a sense of scarcity and urgency that may lead to increased player engagement, as well as potential negative consequences such as compulsive behavior or gaming addiction. The research also evaluates how well-designed time-limited events can enhance player experiences without exploiting players’ emotional vulnerabilities.
