Gamification Design Elements to Enhance Adolescent Motivation in Diagnosing Depression

“…To conclude, the depression diagnosis application system based on the gamification technique can motivate adolescents and increase their awareness about mental health care. The diagnosis results and the reports must be available to the users for selfenhancement and self-evaluation [40].…”

“…According to [39], gamification is an essential element in improving an application system's effectiveness and encourages continu-ous user engagement. A previous study [40] noted various fields implementing gamification into their learning process these days. With interaction engagement, users can obtain new information or develop current knowledge and understand a specific matter [40].…”

“…Motivational Elements: Previous studies have reported motivation influencing continuous user engagement, which, in turn, indirectly affects whether or not the desired outcome is achieved [47,48]. This study proposed a model based on several theories that support the element of motivation, which is the fundamental purpose of gamification [40]. Motivation can be identified through extrinsic rewards in-game components such as level, point system, progress indicator, and achievement badges.…”

“…Intrinsic feelings are achieved via the mastery of extrinsic motivation based on the game components' functions applied in the system. As per [40], game components can develop users' extrinsic motivation and increase their engagement. Table 2 below lists a functional description of the game mechanics [44] involved in forming the depression diagnosis model and the appropriate game components to represent each mechanic.…”
