Uncovering the theoretical basis of user types: An empirical analysis and critical discussion of user typologies in research on tailored gameful design

Gamification has become one of the main areas in information systems and human–computer interaction research related to users’ motivations and behaviors. Within this context, a significant research gap is the lack of understanding of how users’ characteristics, especially in terms of their preferences for gameful interaction (i.e., user typologies), moderate the effects of gamification and, furthermore, how gamification could be tailored to individual needs. Despite their prominence in classifying users, current typologies and their use in research and practice have received severe criticism regarding validity and reliability, as well as the application and interpretation of their results. Therefore, it is essential to reconsider the relationships and foundations of common user typologies and establish a sound empirical basis to critically discuss their value and limits for personalized gamification. To address this research gap, this study investigated the psychometric properties of the most popular player types within tailored gamification literature (i.e., Bartle’s player types, Yee’s motivations to play, BrainHex, and HEXAD) through a survey study (n=877) using their respective measurement instruments, followed by a correlation analysis to understand their empirical relations and an exploratory factor analysis to identify the underlying factors. The results confirm that user typologies, despite their different origins, show considerable overlap, some being consistent whereas others contradicted theoretically assumed relationships. Furthermore, we show that these four user typologies overall factor into five underlying and fundamental dimensions of Socialization, Escapism, Achievement, Reward Pursuit, and Independence, which could be considered common concepts that may essentially reflect key determinants of user motivation in gamification. Our findings imply that future research and practice in tailored gamification design should shift the focus from developing and applying ever more nuanced typologies to understanding and measuring the key underlying determinants of user motivation in gameful systems. Moreover, given the considerable interrelationships between these determinants, we also argue that researchers should favor continuous representations of users’ motivations in specific situations instead of a dichotomous operationalization of user types as static manifestations of their preferences.

Retaining Generation Z employees in the hotel industry: a time-lag study

Purpose Generation Z (Gen Z) is entering the hotel workforce and will soon become the dominant group. This has called for a better understanding of this workforce’s attitudes and perceptions towards working in the hotel industry. This study aims to examine the effect of organizational socialization on the retention of Chinese Gen Z employees, the mediating role of person–environment fit (P-E fit) and the moderating effect of career commitment. Design/methodology/approach Time-lagged data were collected from 426 Gen Z new employees from 20 upscale hotels at two different times (2 weeks and 12 weeks after the employees entered the hotel). Confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, bootstrapping analysis and moderated hierarchical regression analyses were used for data analysis. Findings Organizational socialization positively affects employee retention via person–environment fit. Moreover, career commitment positively moderates the relationship between person–environment fit and employee retention. Practical implications Hotels must view organizational socialization as a long-term investment in Gen Z talent management by offering effective training through diverse methods, creating a collaborative environment and helping them develop career plans to enhance their career commitment. Originality/value This study unpacks the four dimensions of organizational socialization and investigates their differential effects on Gen Z employees’ retention through P-E fit. The moderating role of career commitment is also examined. This study contributes to the growing body of hospitality human resources management research on this new generation of workforce in China.

An empirical study on the data integration model in the comprehensive development of ideological education and student management in colleges and universities based on the concept of three-pronged parenting

Abstract In this paper, a smart campus analysis model based on multi-source data fusion technology is constructed with the study of college students’ behavior as the starting point. The K-means algorithm is utilized to mine the campus data of real college students from multiple sources, and through the fusion of multi-source data, a real, intelligent, multi-level student portrait is portrayed in the three dimensions of consumption, academics, and socialization, so as to provide a rational decision-making basis for the comprehensive development of the ideological and political education and student management of the university with the “three-whole-education” approach. The results show that multi-source data fusion technology can significantly reduce the storage space required for data. University X has a low borrowing interest for Civics and Political Science books. Sports are loved by 70% of students, but half of them don’t exercise regularly. Outside spending is a habit among some students, and 20% of them may exhibit abnormal behavior. These individual behavioral characteristics will have a significant impact on the performance of Civics.

Innovative Behavior in Startups: An Empirical Study

Considering the SECI model, which emphasizes a modern conception of knowledge management, the main objective of this study is to understand how the socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization (SECI) dimensions can influence innovative behavior within organizations. The quantitative method was adopted, carrying out a descriptive-correlational study in which 247 individuals participated. For data collection, a questionnaire was used. Their analysis was performed using SPSS software. The results show that of the four dimensions of the SECI model, only three have a positive influence on innovative behavior: externalization, combination, and internalization. This study highlights the importance that the SECI model has in understanding knowledge generated by companies/organizations, in particular, startups. It is possible to state that this model is extremely important to understand innovative behavior in startups, but also issues related to entrepreneurship, thus rendering this study into a guiding reference for companies.

Efektifitas Pemanfaatan Repository Perguruan Tinggi: Studi pada Perpustakaan IPDN Kampus Jatinangor

IPDN library has been providing college repository services since 2017 through eprints.ipdn.ac.id, but there has been no measurement related to the effectiveness of the utilization of the IPDN repository service. The purpose of this study is to obtain a general overview of the effectiveness of the use of University repositories in the IPDN Library Jatinangor campus. The study used qualitative methods with data collection through interviews to 15 informants, observation and documentation. The results showed that the IPDN Repositori is provided with the aim to provide convenience for users, especially IPDN lecturers in the storage and assessment of scientific work, but there are still server and network constraints at the time of its utilization. In addition, the IPDN Library has conducted socialization and assistance for users. However, monitoring activities related to the utilization of IPDN repository services are still minimal. In conclusion, the effective utilization of University repositories, especially in the Institute of domestic government (IPDN) is included in the sufficient category. As for the 4 (four) dimensions that become a measure of effectiveness, there is 1 (one) dimension that is still lacking in its application, namely the monitoring dimension, 2 (two) dimensions that are sufficient, namely the dimension of targeting and program goals, 1 (one) dimension that is good, namely the dimension of socialization.

Смешанная среда с дополненной реальностью: эффекты присутствия в ситуации игрового взаимодействия

<p style="text-align: justify;">Augmented, virtual reality, online and offline are considered as a single living space of mixed reality - an important dimension of socialization of the personality functioning in such an environment enhanced and expanded by technical devices and programs. In this context one of the main psychological phenomena is the phenomenon of presence - individuals' subjective experience of being in mixed reality. The aim of the research is to study the peculiarities of the subjective experience (phenomenon) of presence by a personality, enhanced by augmented reality in a gaming social interaction in mixed environment. 154 students aged 17 to 24 participated in an augmented reality underwater hunting game in pairs. They were randomly presented with three instructions: neutral, cooperative, and competitive interaction. Subjective experience of presence (immersion in the game, engagement, realism of augmented reality) as an integrative indicator of technologically enhanced personality, social interaction (distraction to the partner, attitude towards the partner), positive and negative emotions were assessed. The following results were obtained: engagement and realism of augmented reality are related to immersion in the given environment. The effect of presence is related to positive, but not negative, changes in emotional state while playing in augmented reality. Game involvement is more pronounced in competitive AR conditions than in cooperative and neutral ones. Greater game involvement and realism of augmented reality are associated with fewer distractions to the partner. Regarding game immersion, the same effect was found for neutral instruction and cooperative instruction. The effect of presence (engagement and realism of augmented reality) in a mixed environment as an important indicator of personality, enhanced with augmented reality, was more pronounced in a competitive environment and was associated with more positive experiences in it and fewer distractions to a partner.</p>

Association between maternal emotional maltreatment history and children's problem behaviors: The mediating role of mothers' mentalization and emotion socialization.

A mothers' emotional maltreatment (EM) history may influence her mentalizing capacity, which is the capacity to reflect on one's and other's mental state and emotion socialization, which would affect her children's problem behaviors. However, no study has examined the mediating role of a mothers' mentalization and emotion socialization on the relationship between the maternal EM history and problem behaviors in their children. Through a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, this study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of a mothers' mentalization and emotion socialization on the relationship between maternal EM history and problem behaviors in their children. In particular, this study aimed to identify the distinct roles of two types of mentalization impairments (hypermentalization and hypomentalization) and two dimensions of emotion socialization (nonsupportive reactions and lack of supportive response to a child's negative emotions). In a Korean community, 661 mothers with children aged 7-12 years old completed the Korean versions of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, Coping with Children's Negative Emotions Scale, and Child Behavior Checklist. The SEM analysis indicated that maternal mentalization and emotion socialization partially mediated the association between maternal self-reported EM history and maternal reports of children's problem behaviors. In particular, the indirect effect of maternal EM on problem behaviors in their children through hypomentalization and nonsupportive reactions was significant. The findings of this study suggest that a mother's hypomentalization and nonsupportive reactions might be a way in which a mothers' EM history leads to problem behaviors in their children.

Demotorization and Space: The Influence of Spatial Factors on Car-Dependency Reduction in France

Although car ownership continues to rise worldwide, temporary or more lasting phases of demotorization (reduction in the number of vehicles owned) are taking place at the household level. Existing studies show that the probability of demotorization increases at certain stages of the life cycle, for example, associated with a reduction in household size or income, or a move to a neighborhood with better transit provision. However, the rationale and temporalities of the decision-making processes involved remain obscure. This knowledge could be useful in informing public action on the measures needed in different categories of territories and populations to encourage a steady and sustainable fall in car ownership. As its contribution to these questions, this article focuses on the influence of spatial factors on household demotorization. The methodology draws on 51 interviews conducted in 2018 with demotorized households in four French urban areas (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, and Dijon). The findings highlight the role of the characteristics of the current place of residence, changes in the place of residence or place of work, and the spatial dimensions of travel socialization. If, as things stand, permanent and voluntary relinquishment of the car is only possible in very dense urban areas, our results show firstly that there is a strong case for working on mobility representations and practices from a very early age and, secondly, the importance of implementing planning policies and alternatives to the private car that are credible in areas of lower population density.

Pencegahan Pernikahan Usia Dini Melalui Program Pusat Informasi dan Konseling Remaja (PIK-R) di Dinas Pengendalian Penduduk dan Keluarga Berencana Kabupaten Karawang

This research highlights the concept of preventing early marriage through the Adolescent Information and Counseling Center (PIK-R) program at the Karawang Regency Population Control and Family Planning Office. This research uses qualitative research methods with case study design and data analysis using the Miles and Huberman model. The theory that researchers use in this study is the prevention of early marriage according to Noorkasiani, et al (Ulfah, 2018). Based on the findings in the field, the four dimensions have not gone well. First, in the dimension of directing adolescents who are not married, it was found that there was no formation of the PIK-R group and the absence of supporting facilities and infrastructure. Second, the education dimension of adolescents who are married was found that adolescents who are married have not received PAP (First Child Delay) education from ppkb Pedes and KUA districts and lack of budget to implement the PAP program. Third, regarding the dimension of counseling families who have adolescents, the findings of researchers in the field, namely the establishment of Adolescent Family Development (BKR) in Pedes District have not been evenly distributed and there are only two groups that get a District Decree and the absence of regeneration of BKR members which causes the education provided unevenly to other communities. Fourth, namely in the dimension of socialization of young marriage culture, it was found that there was no socialization provided by related agencies that socialize the culture of marrying young in society so that the culture of marrying young would continue to develop. The non-running of these four dimensions in preventing early marriage causes the spread of reproductive education and early marriage to adolescents not to run. So that this is one of the factors causing free behavior in adolescents who end up in early marriage.

KNOWLEDGE CREATION: PERSPECTIVE ON THE HALAL SMEs IN SIDOARJO

This study aims to determine of knowledge creation as perspective on the Halal SMEs in Jabon District, Sidoarjo. To get a clear and structured picture of the phenomenon under study, the research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method through an ethnomethodological approach. The informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique by considering that the informants are members of the Seaweed SME, namely entrepreneurs (Source Mulyo Cooperative 5758) and red seaweed farmers of Gracilaria sp. The results showed that the knowledge creation as perspective on the Halal Seaweed SMEs in Jabon District, Sidoarjo could be done by applying the SECI Nonaka and Takeuchi models. This model emphasizes the creation of new knowledge in the organization through the conversion of tacit and explicit knowledge with the dimensions of Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization. This will form a loop that will never stop, and will even expand. Through this continuous process, it is hoped that the differences in understanding between Cooperatives and Farmers regarding the development of seaweed SME will be corrected, resulting in the same agreement on efforts to develop Seaweed SMEs based on knowledge creation perspective.

Key words: Psychological Toughness, Disabled Child, Social Adjustment, Socialization

Examining the socialization of new faculty members through the cultural lens

The study explores new faculty socialization in Vietnam. At the same time, it seeks to understand the organizational culture of institutions of higher learning in Vietnam, particularly teacher education universities, through the dimension of socialization. An illustrative case study is used as it helps to focus on understanding a phenomenon in a given context-new faculty socialization in a Vietnamese university-especially when this phenomenon is as complex as the organizational culture whose parts socialization partially represents. The study also introduces the application of the three-level theory introduced by Schein to investigate matters regarding socialization, considered a dimension of organizational culture. The research showed that socialization mainly depends on the departments, as well as the learning history, skills, and proactivity of the faculty members. The institution has few strategies and activities to help new academics integrate into the work environment. From the organizational-culture perspective, there are various factors that influence the socialization process and are considered fundamental including norms for teacher trainers and hierarchical culture within the university.

A Response to Wolfart’s “Religious Literacy”: Some Considerations and Reservations

Abstract This text addresses three related aspects of Wolfart’s article on religious literacy: the critique of assumptions on the outcome of increased religious literacy, questions about the purpose of religious education, and the suggestion that religious studies are ex-theological. Although the predictability of the results of certain classroom activities presents a fundamental problem, I argue that the tentative and generic abilities highlighted in the religious literacy discourse may function as a starting point to elaborate on a better definition of religious literacy in religious studies. Moreover, based on Biesta’s educational philosophy, I argue that the religious literacy discourse is about learnification in rhetorical disguise as value-based education. Instead, I suggest that the purpose of religious education should be (re)considered from Biesta’s three dimensions of qualification, socialization, and subjectification. Finally, I problematize Wolfart’s suggestion that religious studies are ex-theological and conclude that, although there are a theological dimension and a genealogy to be observed in the religious literacy discourse, other kinds of scholarly aspects are also worth exploring further.

The Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Level of Life Satisfaction among Al-Ain University Students and its Relationship with Some Demographic Variables

Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the level of life satisfaction among Al Ain University students and its relationship with some demographic variables (gender, academic level). Subjects and method: The study sample consisted of (405) male and female students from Al Ain University from the humanities and scientific colleges in the headquarters of the university in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi, the Life Satisfaction Scale prepared by El-Desouki (1999) was distributed electronically. Results: The study results showed that the level of life satisfaction was high, and there were no differences between males and females. As for the marital status, there were no differences in socialization and social appreciation dimensions, while a difference appeared in favor of married students in the dimensions of happiness, tranquility, psychological stability, and contentment. There were no differences in the level of satisfaction with life among students of scientific and humanitarian colleges. As for the academic level, there were no differences in the dimensions of happiness and socialization, psychological stability, and social appreciation, while differences appeared in the tranquility dimension in favor of the fourth-year level. As for the age variable, there were no differences between all age groups in the socialization and stability dimensions, but there were differences in the dimension of happiness, tranquility, social estimation, and contentment in favor of the age group 18-22.

Scan it, buy it, pay it – customers' psychological contracts as partial employees in retail

PurposeSelf-service technologies (SST) have become more and more pervasive in retail to facilitate autonomous checkout. In this context, customers play an active role and, as such, can be considered as “partial employees.” Partial employees have to perform a wide range of tasks, get rewarded for their work and need to understand the terms of the exchange, all without being subject to a formalized contract. In this research, the authors suggest that partial employees go through a process of organizational socialization that allows them to define the psychological contract they hold with the organization.Design/methodology/approachIn order to investigate the psychological contracts of partial employees, 324 Canadian customers using SST completed an online questionnaire, in which their SST use, psychological contract fulfillment and organizational socialization were measured.FindingsDescriptive analyses highlight that customers as partial employees build a psychological contract with their most frequent retailer, as they perceive not only retailer inducements but also their own contributions. Multiple linear regressions suggest that organizational socialization favors psychological contract fulfillment, but that specific dimensions of organizational socialization are important for employer inducements vs. employee contributions. Moreover, results suggest that the frequency of use of SST as well as the patronage positively predicts psychological contract fulfillment.Originality/valueThis research investigates a specific situation of unconventional employment – that of customers as partial employees with organizations. It contributes to the literature on the psychological contract by broadening its application to new relations and to the literature on customer management by reemphasizing the relevance of the psychological contract in this domain.

Ben Bir Başkasıdır: Kişilerarasında Kimlik İnşası

Abstract: The world in which people open their eyes includes a sociability designed by others and without any gaps. A value-laden situation is encountered in every field, from dressing style to eating and drinking practices. Interpersonal life, as the world of cognitive and affective signification, gains continuity with the behavioral prescriptions it offers about how things should be done. From the very first moments, the individual is incorporated in a reflexive process in relation to daily interactions; it takes a value/evaluation approach in the socialization processes in which it inevitably takes place. His/her understanding of himself/herself is shaped by the acceptances and rejections s/he has received or is likely to receive, depending on an interpersonal basis. Along with the self-perception, the boundaries of life policy are determined. Self-worth increases and decreases in line with the approval in daily life; Identity is constructed in the interaction process with others. The construction activity develops in parallel with the learning process of daily life. The question of who we are is not independent of who we are known. In this framework, our study uses the theoretical perspective of the interactionist tradition and evaluates identity as a practice related to the way things are done through the dynamic dimension of socialization. Thus, the general context of this dynamic interpersonal building activity is shought to be explained.

The Lifetime of Experiences Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties and Relationships With Memory Function in an Iranian Elderly Sample.

This study aimed to validate the Persian version of the Lifetime of Experiences Questionnaire (LEQ) and examine the relationship between life experience and memory function. To this end, two studies were conducted. Study one examined the factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent and discriminant validity of the Persian version of LEQ with 247 healthy elderly individuals (M age = 70.17, SD = 4.42; 55.9% women). The exploratory factor analysis yielded a five-factor solution, including Knowledge, Physical, Socialization, Artistic, and Leisure dimensions, which accounted for 42.42% of the explained variance. The internal consistency of the LEQ was in the acceptable range (α = 0.703). Also, the LEQ and its subscales (except the Artistic subscale) had a negative relationship with geriatric depression and a positive relationship with a healthy lifestyle, supporting the measure's convergent and discriminant validity. In the second study, we examined the relationship between LEQ (total and subscales score) and memory function using Pearson correlation and moderating analysis with 149 participants (M age = 70.37, SD = 4.29; 55.03% women). The results demonstrated that the LEQ total and subscales scores correlated positively with episodic memory. In the same vein, LEQ total score and Knowledge subscale showed a positive correlation with semantic memory. The results of moderation analysis showed that LEQ subscales have a different role in memory decline. The knowledge subscale as a content component moderates the effect of age on semantic memory (B = 0.005, t = 2.021, p = 0.045), while the mid-life non-specific activities, which are based on life stages, moderate the effect of age on episodic memory (B = 0.007, t = 3.348, p = 0.001). In conclusion, our results indicated that the Persian version of the LEQ is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring experiences and activities throughout life, which can be used in professional clinical and research settings in the aging context with Iranian elderly samples. Furthermore, our findings suggest that various life experiences can be considered cognitive reserves in old age.

Evaluación de un modelo explicativo del riesgo suicida con base en factores familiares

Suicide is a high-impact mental health problem in today’s society, both in the world and in Colombia: in fact, epidemiological data shows that there has been an upward trend in the suicide rate both in the country and in the city of Valledupar, which is the local context of interest. On the other hand, within modern conceptualizations such as the socio-ecological model of suicide prevention, it has been recognized that family factors are very important determinants of risk and protection. The different investigations reviewed as antecedents show congruently that family dysfunction as well as coercive paternal socialization behaviors are risk factors for suicide. Likewise, adequate family functionality and parental acceptance, and involvement behaviors are protective factors. Similarly, different studies have shown that older adolescents and females are at greater risk of suicidal behavior. The purpose of this study was to evaluate an explanatory model of the risk of suicidal ideation, which involved the dimensions of parental socialization and perceived family functionality, as well as to establish the influence of the parents’ socialization style, based on the findings of previous studies. For this purpose, a quantitative, explanatory and cross-sectional study was developed. The ESPA-29, the APGAR and the BECK-HF Suicidal Ideation Scale were applied to a sample of 268 adolescents from the city of Valledupar, Colombia. A simple random sampling was used for the selection of participants within a neighborhood of the city of Valledupar. The sample consisted of 51.9 % female and 48.1 % male adolescents. The approval of the parents was obtained through an informed consent of the legal representative, as well as an informed consent for the adolescents, which complies with the characteristics requested by the Colegio Colombiano de Psicólogos. Using SPSS 25 and AMOS 25, five different explanatory models were evaluated, with a SEM modeling-Path Analysis. The model of best goodness of fit indicators (χ 2 = 22.2, p = .022, CMINDF = 2.023, CFI = .968, TLI = .919, NFI = .942, RMSEA = .061) establishes an influence of acceptance/involvement of both parents on family functioning, which reduces the level of suicidal ideation; age and coercion/imposition of the father also directly affect the latter. The data demonstrate the importance of family functioning and of supportive and affective behaviors of the acceptance/involvement dimension, since they present a protective effect against suicidal risk. In the same way, the data shows that the coercion/imposition behaviors of the father, but not the mother, were a risk factor. Although the father’s authoritarian style did predict a greater risk of suicidal ideation, it was the indulgent style, and not the authoritative style, that presented the lowest risk. Although the measurements obtained by this research do not allow us to unambiguously explain why this difference occurs between the study’s findings and what is suggested by the scientific literature regarding maternal and paternal styles of socialization in the face of suicide, there are possible determining factors for the results. The possibility is raised that, at a cultural level, beliefs about the maternal role in families in the Colombian Caribbean region, which arise from a formation of matrilocal families, influence the perception of greater acceptability of punishment by the mother towards their children. On the other hand, there is the lack of evidence of significant differences in terms of suicide risk according to sex. Some directions are suggested for future research, mainly to broaden the research spectrum on the role of the family in suicide prevention and to corroborate in the context of the Colombian Caribbean region the finding about the absence of effect of coercion/imposition behaviors carried out by the mother. https://doi.org/10.16888/interd.2022.39.2.19
