Call for chapters
Opportunities for anti-social behaviour on the Internet are in abundance,
including Internet trolling and other forms of cyber-crime. Little
understood are some of the more lawful kinds of problematic Internet use,
such as compulsive use of websites to gain gratifying experiences. Where
such compulsive use affects relationships with others and one's own personal
health it might be thought of as an addition. Concepts like Internet
addiction have been formed based on comparisons to gambling addiction,
whereas others prefer to use the term 'gaming addiction' to refer to the
seductive properties of the Internet that drive compulsive behavior.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
Cyber-addiction, Internet addiction, gaming addiction, gambling addiction
Serious games for healthcare, e-therapy
Gamification, Neknomination,
Captology, seductive hypermedia, persuasive technologies
Affective computing, mental health issues, emotion recognition impairment
MMORPGs, MOOCs, MUDs

Chapters are expected to be submitted by July 15, 2014, and may be submitted
instead of an abstract. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a
double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as
reviewers for this project. The editor anticipates a significant number of
submissions so please contact after the submission date if you have a
chapter you'd like to be reviewed for inclusion. Chapters will be reviewed
on an on-going basis, so the earlier submissions are made the sooner a
decision can be made.
