Intern User Research Analyst - Intenship Winter 2022

Job Description

The intern will be responsible for validating two motivation scales based on player behavior, in collaboration with two user research project managers. One of the scales focuses on measuring sustained engagement as defined by self-determination theory. A version of this scale has already been published (The Ubisoft Perceived Experience Questionnaire). We are looking to establish the external validity of this scale. This project has the potential to be published in a journal article. The second scale is about consumer motivations. The scale is currently under development. The objective of that project is to establish the validity and reliability of the scale.

What you’ll do

• Develop the necessary domain knowledge in player motivations;
• Review our existing scales and tools;
• Use the appropriate statistical methods (Cronbach alpha, exploratory & confirmatory factor analysis) to evaluate the validity and reliability of the scales;
• Revise the scales based on these results and iterate;
• Present the results to relevant stakeholders and make recommendations for future use.

Qualifications

What you bring

• Master’s degree in psychology in a domain relying on psychometrics
• Having validated at least one psychological scale (if published in a referred journal or a conference an asset)
