“…Regarding primary fit, this is indicated by synchronized movements of group members during group flow (Gloor et al, 2013) and a high positive correlation between group flow and emotional synchrony (Zumeta, Oriol, et al, 2016). In terms of secondary fit, this is indicated by a group-level balance of challenges and skills being present together with facets of a group state of mind (Keith et al, 2021). Moreover, there is strong evidence that group flow is dynamic (e.g., Armstrong, 2008; ad Proposition 4).…”

Objective: The existing theoretical approaches to group flow deviate from each other and have several limitations. Given that the assumptions of the existing approaches are not incompatible with each other and instead can be regarded as being complementary, the purpose of this article is to propose the integrative group flow theory (IGFT) as a theory that integrates and extends existing approaches. Results: The IGFT is based on action theoretical principles and describes group flow as balanced group action. Balanced group action is a continuously perfectly fitting handling of the task by the group system in a given situation. This involves relationships within and between the three action theoretical components of group action (i.e., group system, group task, group environment) and three major functions of the group system (i.e., state of mind, behavior, skills). Group flow is described as dynamic due to changes of the group situation and due to regulatory processes within the group, particularly interpersonal coordination. Conclusion: In terms of systematics, the IGFT meets the goodness criteria (i.e., comprehensiveness, parsimony, openness). Moreover, the theory also meets specific recommendations for the development of theories for group phenomena. In terms of empiricism, the results of the existing studies already confirm many aspects of the IGFT. Further research is needed to test the remaining aspects. This requires the development of a measurement instrument and an experimental paradigm. The theory can be expected to fulfill the functions of scientific theories (i.e., epistemology, praxeology, communication).

“…Social involvement, furthermore, to functional efficacy, raises user pleasure (Kujur, 2017). Players frequently talk to their peers about their mobile gaming experiences and even form gaming teams (Keith et al, 2021). There are concerns about internet interactions between mobile game players, for instance, cheering and commentary analysis from teammates that can improve team spirit.…”

The purpose of the study was to reveal if there exists a quality-enjoyment-social influence-satisfaction-loyalty gap among gamers when it comes to playing the game Valorant. The study used a deductive and quantitative research approach by conducting an online survey which was distributed with a non-probability convenience sampling technique toward Valorant game players in Indonesia. The survey resulted in 96 valid responses which was quantitatively analyzed. The findings revealed that there exists a quality-enjoyment-social influence-satisfaction-loyalty gap among gamers in Indonesia when it comes to the context of the game Valorant. The most influential determinant affecting customer satisfaction was perceived enjoyment, and the most affecting loyalty was perceived quality. The suggested e-sports experience will contribute to the growing body of knowledge aimed at understanding e-sports consumer behavior.

“…In addition, a web-based emergency room game for interprofessional education improved teamwork attitudes among medical and nursing students [ 41 ]. Moreover, Keith et al [ 42 ] found that playing video games as a team improved team performance, probably related to team cohesion processes. However, robust studies on game effectiveness and design choices are still inconclusive owing to the low quality of the evidence and paucity of studies included in meta-analyses [ 43 - 45 ].…”

Background In health care, teamwork skills are critical for patient safety; therefore, great emphasis is placed on training these skills. Given that training is increasingly designed in a blended way, serious games may offer an efficient method of preparing face-to-face simulation training of these procedural skills. Objective This study aimed to investigate the teamwork principles that were used during gameplay by medical students and teamwork experts. Findings can improve our understanding of the potential of serious games for training these complex skills. Methods We investigated a web-based multiplayer game designed for training students’ interprofessional teamwork skills. During gameplay, 4 players in different roles (physician, nurse, medical student, and student nurse) had to share information, prioritize tasks, and decide on next steps to take in web-based patient scenarios, using one-to-one and team chats. We performed a qualitative study (content analysis) on these chats with 144 fifth-year medical students and 24 health care teamwork experts (as a benchmark study) playing the game in groups of 4. Game chat data from 2 scenarios were analyzed. For the analysis, a deductive approach was used, starting with a conceptual framework based on Crew Resource Management principles, including shared situational awareness, decision-making, communication, team management, and debriefing. Results Results showed that most teamwork principles were used during gameplay: shared situational awareness, decision-making (eg, re-evaluation), communication (eg, closed loop), and team management (eg, distributing the workload). Among students, these principles were often used on a basic level. Among experts, teamwork principles were used with more open forms of speak up and more justification of decisions. Some specific Crew Resource Management principles were less observed among both groups, for example, prevention of fixation errors and use of cognitive aids. Both groups showed relatively superficial debriefing reflections. Conclusions Playing a multiplayer game for interprofessional teamwork appears to facilitate the application of teamwork principles by students in all important teamwork domains on a basic level. Expert players applied similar teamwork principles on a moderately high complexity level. Some teamwork principles were less observed among both students and expert groups, probably owing to the artifacts of the game environment (eg, chatting instead of talking). A multiplayer game for teamwork training can elicit the application of important, basic teamwork principles, both among novices and experts, and provides them with a flexible, accessible, and engaging learning environment. This may create time for exercising more complex skills during face-to-face training.
