| Abstract | Bullying is one of the most common yet tolerated forms of violence. "BREAKAWAY" is an educational game purposefully designed to use entertainment-education and digital gaming to help youth around the world to learn about different types of bullying and coping strategies. This dissertation reports the design and results of a pilot study conducted in Buffalo, New York: (1) an attempted field experiment with pretest and posttest as well as a control group to assess the effectiveness of "BREAKAWAY" gameplay and gameplay combined with facilitated group discussions; (2) a qualitative analysis of players' participatory sketching and writing; and (3) an observational study investigating players' narrative exposure and in-game choices. Overall, the findings demonstrated promising trends in using "BREAKAWAY" as a narrative-based educational tool for youth. Although the field experiment did not yield statistically significant results due to the small sample size, new measurement scales were tested and unconventional methods such as participatory sketching and screen recording provided complementary and invaluable insights from the participants. Taken together, the lessons learned from this dissertation can effectively inform the design and implementation of a large-scale field study.
