Brief description of study

Researchers at Indiana University are looking for adults to take part in a study to better understand how bereaved individuals uniquely experience grief-focused videogames and how that can help us design technology to support people who are grieving.
 
Study participation involves completing online surveys, Zoom interviews and playing a videogame from the convenience of your own home - NO IN-PERSON VISITS ARE REQUIRED.
 
Your participation may help researchers to generate future technology design insights based on your experiences.
