PhD Student, Danni Threlfall is currently undertaking a study to conclude if video games can support students through the university transition, to reduce any anxiety, worry or fear that students may have about the process.
If you are a student at the University of Lincoln, you are invited to partake. In the first part of the study, you will be asked to complete a couple of questionnaires on how you feel about the university transition.
Part two of the study may be required you to download a game either Lincoln Island, NatWest’s The Budget Game, or no game at all. You will then be asked to spend a minimum of 30 minutes playing the game throughout the next couple of months.
Part three will take place in approximately 2 months, and you will be asked to complete additional questionnaires. These surveys will ask you questions about how you found the gameplay and your feelings surrounding your transitional experience.
