Obremski et al. describe an intervention with a positive model of a mixed-cultural IVA (outgroup) and a negative model of an ingroup member to successfully reduce implicit and explicit racial bias [4]. The high prevalence of mixed-cultural backgrounds in society and the promising results of previous work with mixed-cultural IVAs supports the importance of future research in this field. ...

... The consistent findings across various studies and the alignment with previous research underscore the significance of autonomy in enhancing intrinsic motivation through gamified platforms. The literature consistently supports the idea that providing users with autonomy, such as the freedom to make choices and engage in optional activities, enhances their inherent motivation to use gamified platforms or software (Arora & Razavian, 2021; Parnabas et al., 2023;Schaper et al., 2022). By understanding these implications and limitations, developers and educators can design gamified platforms that leverage autonomy to promote engagement and motivation (Bitrián et al., 2023;Mustafa et al., 2023;Zhang & Shao, 2021). ...
