Describes a planned four‑chapter thesis: literature review, studies of player perceptions of proactive and positive interventions, and an efficacy comparison versus traditional sanctions. Presents an interactive prototype — a gamified device to curb impulsive emotional actions — with literature review complete and user perception studies currently underway.
