Title
Player Matching for Social Exergame Retention: A Group Personality Composition Approach
Abstract
In this research, we propose Player Matching using Personal Characteristics (PMPC) approach as an attempt to create a more socially satisfying playing experience and address the retention problem. We start by exploring the effectiveness of pairing players based on personality types and simple game features such as competitive and cooperative group challenges. We present initial findings of a 60-day study showing that matching players based on similar personalities can increase the level of game enjoyment and retention compared to dissimilar ones. Insights into designing and researching other personal characteristics for improving player matching mechanisms and increasing retention are on the agenda for a larger study.
