... After the experiment, posttest survey will again use the same scale to measure participants' ageist stereotypes (Kogan, 1961). In addition, posttest survey will also measure participants' state empathy after video game exposure using the comprehensive state empathy scale (CSES) for Target Empathy (Everson et al., 2018), game enjoyment (Limperos et al., 2011), avatar identification (Van Looy, Courtois, De Vocht, 2011), game transportation (Appel et al., 2015), and game interactivity (Weber et al., 2014). ...
