Playing Alone, Feeling Connected: Do Single-Player Video Games with Social Surrogates Replenish Belonging After Social Rejection?

This is Nami Sunami's dissertation. Other materials are available on the OSF project: https://osf.io/hydxk/ The project uses the bookdown package.

How to run the project

1. Make sure that Docker is installed.

2. Clone the repo to local

3. Open Terminal, go to the cloned repository directory, and run docker compose up. This will pull the pre-built image, and start a RStudio server with the dependencies.

4. Go to http://localhost:8787/ to access the web version of RStudio. Navigate to the ~/dissertation directory and open the .Rproject file there.

Video game

In Study 3, I developed a video game and asked participants to play it. The video game is currently hosted on itch.io (Shadow of Gaki).
