Angela, Dawn, Marcie, Bernadette

Marcie played the game while we recorded observations.

Overall, Marcie seemed very engaged but frustrated at times. She was also excited during the game.

She seemed to spend most of her time in the pleased and aroused quadrant. However, she seemed to fluctuate along the entire x-axis.

Throughout the activity, Marcie bounced back and forth between excited and uncertain. She was quite curious and challenged. In the middle of the game, she seemed to begin to take control of the situation.

Keller would not be very happy. There's not much confidence and there were no rewards/directions.

Malone would happy. She reached all the 7 levels at various times throughout the game. The game included challenge, fantasy, control, cooperation, etc.

Csikszentmihalyi would think overall she stayed in the flow. She never dropped down into the boredom section. If anything, she went up into the anxiety area. However, she did not seem to stay in the area for long. She played along with curiosity and was very involved. In fact, during the 2 minute marks, we had to tell her repeatedly to describe her feelings. This shows she was lost in what she was doing and wanted to continue.
