Incentive Design in Gamified Cyber Security Training: The Roles of Loss Aversion and Fixed Rewards

This research paper examines how to design effective gamified cyber security training (using game elements like points and levels to teach security skills) by studying loss aversion (people's tendency to fear losing what they have more than gaining something new) and fixed rewards. The study explores which incentive structures motivate people to engage with and learn from security training games most effectively.
