Abstract

This paper concerns how player goals change over time during simulation play. The players were college seniors, and goals were obtained via questionnaire given during the third, seventh, and last quarters of an eleven quarter simulation. The results show that profit, competence, and ambition related goals did not change over time, that competitive and survival goals increased with time, and that learning and business growth related goals decreased with time.
