Reihe: Advances in Human and Social Aspects of Technology

With the popularity and ease-of-access to internet technologies, especially social networking, a number of human-centred issues has developed including internet addiction and cyber bullying. In an effort to encourage positive behaviour, it is believed that applying gaming principles to non-gaming environments through gamification can assist in improving human interaction online.

Gamification for Human Factors Integration: Social, Educational, and Psychological Issues presents information and best practises for promoting positive behaviour online through gamification applications in social, educational and psychological contexts. Through up-to-date research and practical applications, educators, academicians, information technology professionals and psychologists will gain valuable insight into human-internet interaction and a possible solution for improving the relationship between society and technology.
