A Process Model of the Formation of Spatial Presence Experiences (2007, background): “…the involved processes and test whether it is really Spatial Presence that facilitates enjoyment, whether a solid SSM of the field is sufficient, or whether the game space is not an important category at all, because involvement with the team and the accompanying suspense are primary (Raney, 2003).”
