Development and Validation of Game Interface with Culture Questionnaire: Graphic and Animation

AbstractCultural values that are held by individuals within a society control how they act and believe. People with different culture may have different perception on the same subject. Due to this reason, some people may find difficulties playing computer games since the design is not intuitive and natural enough for the player. Hence, a model of game interface with cultural values is designed based on literature. The model consists of graphic and animation and four cultural elements – PDI, MAS, HC and IDV. This paper presents the development and validation of questionnaire for use to verify the game interface model .The study employed a mixed method design which consists of qualitative and quantitative method. Four panel of experts in the area of culture and human computer interface (HCI) were selected to validate the questionnaire, through structured interview. The face validation process involved five game players. For quantitative method, purposive sampling of 52 respondents was carried out. After development and validation process completed, 30 questions of game interface with cultural values remain. Some changes have been made on questions based on experts’ reviews. The reliability of the questionnaire, α = .955. The questionnaire is validated and reliable, thus it is good for use to verify the model
