abstract = {In this study, we investigate how users’ general gaming preferences (i.e. on dimensions of achievement, immersion and social orientations) are related to their perception of the (enjoyment, usefulness, ethicalness motivationability and continued use) of different gamification features. The study was amongst 144 students as a vignette study, framed in the context of gamification of the Moodle educational platform. The results show that, while achievement–orientation in gaming preferences is positively associated with perceptions of achievement–related gamification features, immersion and social gaming orientations had little, if any, positive associations with the different perceptions related to gamification features. While the results indicate that achievement-related gamification may be preferred by achievement-oriented players, overall players’ gaming preferences types may not be a comprehensive predictor for gamification preferences.},

Player personas are representations of player profile types, based on identified patterns in gameplay type preferences, motivations to play, or player behavior data. Player personas are constructed to support player-centric game design and targeted marketing.
