Heterogeneous knowledge distribution in MMO player behavior: Using domain knowledge to distinguish membership in a community of practice
作者：
Highlights：
• Using objective instead of subjective means to measure MMO experience is critical.
• We created an objective knowledge assessment (MDFE) to assist MMO game researchers.
• We administered demographics and the MDFE to MMO players and non-players.
• The MDFE was valid and reliable; MMO specific questions predicted scores.
• General demographics were less predictive of MDFE scores.
