基于ARCS动机模型的疗愈性游戏关卡框架设计研究

Research on the Design of Therapeutic Game Level Framework Based on ARCS Motivation Model

摘要: 随着社会心理需求的增长，疗愈性游戏凭借“互动体验 + 心理引导”属性成为缓解负面情绪的重要载体。本文以艺术设计为核心视角，结合心理疗愈理论与游戏设计原理，系统探究ARCS动机模型(注意、关联、信心、满足)在疗愈性游戏结构与关卡设计中的应用逻辑。通过文献综述梳理疗愈性游戏的研究现状与理论应用短板，界定核心概念后，构建“叙事–任务–交互”三维结构框架与“目标具象–内容适配–衔接自然”的关卡体系，并结合案例提出“结构统领关卡、关卡服务疗愈”的设计路径。研究指出当前产品在“结构–关卡协同性”、“艺术疗愈适配性”、“技术可及性”等方面的问题，针对性提出优化建议，为疗愈性游戏开发提供理论参考与实践方案，填补该领域系统性设计框架的空白。

Abstract: With the growing demand for psychosocial well-being, therapeutic games have emerged as a vital solution for managing negative emotions through their unique blend of “interactive experiences + psychological guidance”. This study adopts an artistic design perspective, integrating psychotherapeutic theories with game design principles to systematically examine how the ARCS Motivation Model (Attention, Engagement, Confidence, Satisfaction) applies to therapeutic game architecture and level design. Through literature review, we identify current research gaps and theoretical limitations in therapeutic games. After defining core concepts, we establish a three-dimensional framework of “narrative-task-interaction” and develop a level system guided by “concrete objectives → content alignment → natural progression”. Case studies demonstrate the design approach of “structure-driven level development, level-enhanced therapy delivery”. The research identifies challenges in “structure-level coordination”, “artistic therapeutic adaptation”, and “technological accessibility” across current products, proposing targeted optimization strategies. This provides theoretical foundations and practical solutions for therapeutic game development, filling the gap in systematic design frameworks within the field.
