Initial suggestions
Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions: Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
 * Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Gamification
 * Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Motivation
 * Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Play
 * Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Technology
 * Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Video games
 * What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Suggestion
Hey, this is a interesting topic, I was actually going to use the topic of gamification, using games as a motivator in my book chapter on to-do-lists (there are many apps that mix to-do-lists and games) so I cant wait to see how your book chapter develops.

I was thinking it might be useful to look at:

Self-determination theory and Flow theory

Hope that helps, cant wait to read your book chapter as it develops U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 12:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Light feedback
The topic chosen has a lot of potential, and is a new part of psychology, allowing for much more speculation and exploration. Have you considered that gamer motivation may be related to self actualisation and the development of confidence within the individual? The link below explores this in some detail. Good luck on your assessment. https://wp.nyu.edu/samanthazhang/2020/09/20/week-01-why-people-love-to-play-video-game/

Emotional aspect?
Hey! This seems super good so far, I'm actually doing something a little similar for my book chapter. I know this is a motivation chapter but maybe adding in a section on how emotions can influence motivation for playing games could be a good idea? Either way super excited to see how this turns out! Good luck :) U3224203 (discuss • contribs) 07:14, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Edits
Hi, it was interesting to read about gamer motivation! I find especially the first half of your book chapter to be very engaging with the use of interactive mechanisms. I have made some changes to the errors in your reference list, I hope you don't mind! The most common ones I have noticed are: Here is a website for APA7 referencing, I hope it can assist you in your future assessments!

 * Unnecessary capitalisation of words (e.g., for the title of the article only capitalise the first word or the first word after a colon)
 * Lack of italicise for publishers
