Let Me Be Implicit: Using Motive Disposition Theory to Predict and Explain Behaviour in Digital ...
summary
An experiment with 109 players in 30-minute groups of three in Minecraft social play uses projective coding of implicit motives and coded chat plus peer likability ratings to link motives to behavior. Main claims: implicit affiliation motive predicts in-game social actions (more favorable ratings, specific chat patterns) while explicit motives correlate with questionnaires; implicit affiliation adds significant variance to regression models even after controlling for personality, explicit affiliation, self-esteem, and social traits. Coding is manual and time-consuming.
