So today I submitted my thesis. It spans 395 pages, with over 40 pages of references & 3 pages of acknowledgements. I've not been very vocal about my research on Twitter in the past 3years, preferring to Tweet memes, so here's a summary! Thanks HPSC research degrees for the star!
I started with the REALLY broad research question: "Can videogame avatars affect health-related behaviours?" This narrowed down to "Can the physique of an avatar affect exercise intensity?" which led me down unexpected paths! 1/n
I started with a pre-registered systematic review of the existing literature. This was meant to be a meta-analysis, but I could only find 14 relevant studies! My conclusion was: the area is sparse, varied, & (surprise!), likely biased! 2/n
