    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Video games are failure-rich spaces that provide a unique lens\ninto how individuals react to failure in challenging\nenvironments. In this study, we utilize Cuphead, a notoriously\nchallenging video game to demonstrate a unique behaviorally\ndriven approach to understanding how an individual reacts to\nfailure. Using measures of mastery orientation and data-driven\nretrospective interviews, we show that individuals who exhibit\nmore mastery-oriented behaviors and more mastery-oriented\nbehaviors before a helpless-behavior are more likely to show a\nhigher game mastery orientation score, and that individuals that\nabandon a level before completion are more likely to show a\nlower game mastery orientation score. This introduces video\ngames as a fruitful environment for understanding mastery\norientation, a behaviorally driven approach to understanding\nhow individuals react to failure, and provides a glimpse into\nhow individuals react to failure in a challenging video game.",
