Penn State researchers seeking to understand the reasons behind people’s attitudes towards wildlife and their decisions to support saving endangered species were recently awarded a Commonwealth Campuses Research Collaboration Development Program Award to address lack of research in this area, by developing an interactive game.
The award will fund the development of an interactive game that will allow participants to virtually interact with butterflies in a conservatory to determine their attitudes towards wildlife and their decisions to support saving an endangered species.
