Dr. Cody Phillips researches the motivational pull of games. In his Ph.D. research, Cody developed and evaluated a typology of video game rewards.
Since arriving at the University of Saskatchewan in 2019, Cody has been building a program of research exploring the benefits of commercial video games.
