In the last week, I went to Newcastle to test one of my stakeholder, and play the game with them. Before the intervention, I filmed with them, and asked them to sign a consent form allowing the filming. and then they completed a simple questionnaire in 2 minutes. The game lasts for about 30 minutes, and after the game is over, I interviewed them for 3 minutes.（The video will undergo sound processing and mosaic at the request of the participants）
what typical family(family communication pattern)? ：pluralistic
Feedback:
PARTICIPANT A: this game really helps us to communicate. In this game, I found that his thoughts are like this, which made me understand him better, and the questions in the game are also well designed. They are all scenes encountered in daily life. The analysis of the answers is also very detailed, although there are some analysis that I don’t agree with.
PARTICIPANT B: In this game, Ifeel that there is not much difference between me and her. Even if there are differences, most of them can accept each other’s ideas after explaining. In a relationship, few people come in to speak fair, especially when everyone is at peace. This game really helps both parties communicate and can easily open up the depth of each other’s chat. I hop that the number of cards in the game can be increased, and the number of interactive cards can be more, so that I can play a few more times.
Reflection:
Through this intervention, and my observation of participants’ reactions and their feedback, I feel that my intervention has played a positive role in communication. I am very happy that my intervention is considered successful, but there are still area for improvement, such as the number of question cards and interactive cards.
At the end of the game, I found that the participants didn’t want to end the game. They wanted more question cards to ask each other, and they wanted to know more about each other’s thoughts. Every time asked a question card, they had a discussion after answering, sometime they would disagree with each other’ ideas, but after explaining the answer, they all understood the other person’ ideas, so which mean the analysis of question is an indispensable part of this game, it is equivalent to an authoritative middleman to resolve the contradiction between them.
For my next step, I will modify some of the question cards in the game based on the feedback from this intervention, and then conduct an online test on another pair of participants.
