Technostress in Digital Games: Case Genshin Impact

How they used Delve

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä used Delve to code nine interviews with Genshin Impact players in a thematic analysis of technostress in digital games, after starting the analysis in Excel and on paper.

“Thus, we engaged in thematic analysis by creating different categories within which patterns were sought later (Braun and Clarke, 2006). The analysis was done initially using Microsoft Excel and pen and paper. Later, Delve software was used to ease the coding and analysis processes.”
