PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS AND MOTIVATIONS OF OLDER ADULTS IN VIDEO GAMES
For my Master’s thesis, I chose to focus on a topic that I find very interesting and that is often underrepresented in academic literature: the relationship between adults 50+ and video games.
With the objective of investigating older adults’ preconceived ideas about video games, as well as what type of content they would prefer, I conducted two psychological studies based on previous literature about video game motivation and preference. One of them yielded statistically significant results, which was very exciting!
