Gamification is used to motivate the targeted behaviors using game elements in non-game environments through the implementation of designs outlined in the theories of behavior. The main purpose of this study is to examine the use of gamification applications by parents based on the Technology Acceptance Model 2. The study results show that the use of gamification applications increases parenting performance, productivity, and effectiveness, that parents will use gamification applications in the future and that they can easily explain the results of the use of gamification applications to others. It shows that parents are not obliged to use gamification in their occupations and that people who influence their behaviors do not think that they should use gamification applications. The study uses a quantitative approach and data analysis is performed using the SPSS program. The data are analyzed and interpreted by tabulating frequency, percentages, t-test and Anova tests. Future studies will provide training on how parents can use gamification applications for their children’s education within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model 2. Read More Read Less

Abstract In this work we planned to investigate the synergy between psychology and video games and document the effects video games cause to its users. Hence the psychology issues related to video games have addressed the effect they have on the users’ personality, health, and psycho social aspects.

In this work we planned to investigate the synergy between psychology and video games and document the effects video games cause to its users. Hence the psychology issues related to video games have addressed the effect they have on the users’ personality, health, and psycho social aspects. This work will focus a recount of the attempts to evaluate the effects video games have on users from a psychological outlook. The major issues the video game studies have had due to a conservative ideology that marks the designs of today’s psychology would be studied. The new inclusion as a disorder in the non-substance related addictions section within the DSM-5, until its definitive incorporation into the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), we can clearly identify a timeline of events and processes that have led to the construction of a discourse about the dangers of video games in people’s mental health.

Abstract Use of proper design enhances the utilization of gamification with game parts in a non-game environment. Parents use the gamification applications with the help of the Technology Acceptance Model. We have initiated a study and found that the use of gamification applications increases parenting performance, productivity, and effectiveness. Further results revealed that the parents are not intended to use gamification... Use of proper design enhances the utilization of gamification with game parts in a non-game environment. Parents use the gamification applications with the help of the Technology Acceptance Model. We have initiated a study and found that the use of gamification applications increases parenting performance, productivity, and effectiveness. Further results revealed that the parents are not intended to use gamification in their occupations and that people who influence their behaviors do not think that they should use gamification applications. For this work, a quantitative approach and data analysis is performed using the SPSS program. The experimental results are analyzed and interpreted by tabulating frequency, percentages, t-test and Anova tests. It is possible to extend this study which can able to provide training on how parents can use gamification applications for their children’s education within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model.
