Abstract

The rapid growth of digital games has increased the need for a strong psychological foundation in the game development process. Psychology plays a crucial role in understanding how players think, feel, stay motivated, and behave, all of which directly influence player engagement and overall gaming experience. This study aims to systematically examine the role of psychology in digital game development through a literature-based approach. A systematic literature review method was employed by selecting reputable scholarly journal articles published within a specific time frame from major academic databases. The selected articles were then analyzed and categorized based on branches of psychology and their applications in game development. The findings indicate that cognitive psychology, motivational psychology, emotional psychology, and social psychology are the most frequently applied fields, particularly in gameplay design, user experience, and player engagement. However, research gaps remain, especially regarding the integration of psychological theories during the early stages of game design. This study highlights the importance of psychology as both a theoretical and practical foundation in digital game development.

Abstract

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat merupakan wujud penerapan ilmu pengetahuan untuk memberikan manfaat nyata bagi masyarakat. Pada era digital, literasi digital menjadi kompetensi penting bagi generasi muda agar mampu menggunakan teknologi secara aman, kritis, dan bertanggung jawab. Namun, pemahaman terkait keamanan siber, perlindungan data pribadi, serta etika berinternet masih tergolong rendah. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi digital generasi muda di SMP Yapita, Surabaya melalui game edukatif Click and Shield. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi, pelatihan berbasis permainan, serta evaluasi pemahaman peserta melalui pretest dan posttest. Pendekatan berbasis game dipilih agar proses belajar berlangsung lebih interaktif dan menyenangkan. Data nasional tahun 2024 menunjukkan bahwa terdapat lebih dari 36 juta serangan siber di Indonesia, sejalan dengan rendahnya indeks literasi digital masyarakat. Hasil kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat memperkuat pemahaman peserta mengenai keamanan digital sekaligus menanamkan kebiasaan berinternet yang aman sejak dini, serta mendukung peran perguruan tinggi dalam pengembangan keilmuan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat.
