Dataset of Israeli and Palestinian students' attitudes before and after playing games PeaceMaker and Fact Finders

  • 1. Cyprus University of Technology, Department of Communication and Internet Studies
  • 2. Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University

Description

203 Israeli and Palestinian students participated in a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test design and played the games PeaceMaker and Fact Finders in a different order (Peace Maker first, Fact Finders second or Fact Finders first, Peace Maker second) or played one of the two games (either PeaceMaker or Fact Finders). Their viewpoints and attitudes towards both conflicts (Israel-Palestine conflict and Cyprus conflict) were measured before and after playing each game.

Notes

The EU funded the development of the game Fact Finders as part of the Horizon2020 project RePAST (2018-2021). This study used the game Fact Finders (which is a game for social impact that is provided free of charge in 8 different languages) in an effort to examine attitude changes for the conflict described in the game and for conflicts other than the one described in the game.
