Dr Cade McCall

University of York

Cade McCall is an experimental psychologist. He uses games and virtual environments to study emotion, cognition, and behaviour during threatening experiences. His work explores how threat unfolds over time as revealed by dynamics in motion tracking data, psychophysiological measures, and experience-sampling.

McCall is interested in supervising projects with a psychological focus, including:
● human interactions with autonomous systems
● the use of games to manipulate emotions
● social interactions within games

Research themes:

• Games with a purpose

• Player experience

• Game analytics
