Why is it important?
This paper demonstrates the importance of understanding the objective effect of SEG play on the underlying mechanisms of action for a targeted behaviour (e.g. binge drinking), thereby providing actionable guidance for optimising future game design.
Perspectives
Serious educational games (SEGs) are an exciting and growing area of research within behaviour change, however, further work is needed to validate their efficacy.
