“…Social exergames are popular because they offer competitive and cooperative experiences that are similar to group exercise (Marker & Staiano, 2015) and supportive peer relationships encourage exercise adherence (Murcia et al, 2008). However, current exergame research seems to focus mainly on designing for single player (e.g., Geelan et al, 2016; rather than multiple players.…”

“…Furthermore, not all participants completed the post-game questionnaire. This is a common limitation in many other exergame-related research (Consolvo et al, 2006;Gao & Mandryk, 2011;Geelan et al, 2016;T. Park et al, 2012; and calls for a future study to further examine the effects of matching players using task-and relationship-oriented traits using a larger sample.…”

First, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Ali Arya for his continuous guidance, support, and encouragement throughout my thesis work. Thank you for taking the time to read through many drafts and offering insightful feedback. I would also like to thank my late supervisor, Dr. Anthony Whitehead, for accepting me into the program and the clear vision he had for my thesis topic. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Rita Orji and Dr. Zhao Zhao for their tremendous help with my research and their collaboration. It has been a pleasure to work with them. I would also like to thank Anyi Ndongko for developing the ExerQuest game interface for me. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr.

Background: Gamification is purported to enhance engagement with health behavior apps, ultimately improving their effectiveness. This study aimed to examine (1) whether the inclusion of gamification features in a physical activity smartphone app was associated with improved app usage and goal adherence, describe (2) use of the gamification features, and (3) by whom, and determine (4) whether engagement was associated with increased physical activity. Methods: Data from community-dwelling adult participants (mean age 42.1 years, standard deviation [SD 11.9], 74% female) in the gamified (n = 134) and nongamified (n = 155) conditions from a three-group randomized controlled trial were analyzed. Physical activity was assessed at baseline and 9 months using a survey and accelerometers. App usage (number of days steps were logged), goal adherence (number of days step count was q10,000), and behavioral engagement with gamification features were obtained from server logs. Multilevel modeling was used to examine the study aims. Results: Participants who received the gamified app showed more days of usage than those who received the nongamified app (M = 113 days [SD 88] vs. M = 81 days [SD 54], P = 0.006), whereas goal adherence did not differ between groups. The leaderboard and ''status'' gamification features were the most frequently used gamification features (M = 83 [SD 114] and M = 50 [SD 67] views, respectively). Older age (P = 0.008) and lower body mass index (P = 0.004) were associated with more status views. Participants who reported higher stress symptoms sent more gifts (P = 0.04). The use of gamification features was associated with increased physical activity (P = 0.04). Conclusion:The gamified app was used substantially longer than the nongamified app. Use of gamification features was positively associated with change in physical activity. Leaderboards promoting social comparison may be a promising form of gamification. Research on different forms of gamification is warranted.
