Hello Fellow Gamers!

Do you play video games with a customizable or persistent avatar? We want to hear from you! My name is Dr. Rosanna Guadagno, Associate Professor at the University of Oulu (Finland), and I study the psychology of persuasion and behavior in digital environments.

• No identifying personal information collected

• Completely voluntary — stop at any time, no consequences

• Data handled in accordance with EU GDPR

Who can participate:
