Videospellen: de positieve effecten
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-03-2015Samenvatting In de Verenigde Staten besteedt 97% van de kinderen en adolescenten ten minste één uur per dag aan het spelen van videospellen. Onderzoek naar de effecten van videospellen richt zich voornamelijk op de negatieve gevolgen: de mogelijke schade met betrekking tot geweld, verslaving en depressie. Wij erkennen de waarde van dit onderzoek; maar betogen dat een gebalanceerd perspectief belangrijk is, waarin ook de positieve effecten van videospellen worden meegenomen. Videospellen zijn het laatste decennium ...

The effect of the video game MindLight on anxiety symptoms in children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder [study protocol]
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-01-2015Background In the clinical setting, a large proportion of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience anxiety symptoms. Because anxiety is an important cause of impairment for children with an ASD, it is necessary that effective anxiety interventions are implemented for these children. Recently, a serious game called MindLight has been developed that is focused on decreasing anxiety in children. This approach is based on recent research suggesting that video games might be suitable as an intervention vehicle ...

Associations between children's video game playing and psychosocial health: Information from both parent and child reports
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-10-2014Abstract Video games are a highly heterogeneous form of entertainment. As recent reviews highlight, this heterogeneity makes likely that video games have both positive and negative consequences for child development. This study investigated the associations between gaming frequency and psychosocial health among children younger than 12 years of age, an understudied cohort in this field. Both parents and children reported children's gaming frequency, with parents also reporting on children's psychosocial health. Given that ...

Stressful gaming, interoceptive awareness, and emotion regulation tendencies: A novel approach
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-04-2014Abstract Healthy emotion regulation is crucial for navigating stressful situations. Interoceptive awareness—the awareness of one's internal states—is important for such healthy regulation. Given the propensity for video games to induce stress, the associations between in-game and real world emotion regulation strategies during duress are worth exploring. We therefore present a method for measuring the interoceptive awareness of negative affect during stressful video game play, and investigate whether individual ...

The benefits of playing video games.
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-01-2014Abstract 1. Video games are a ubiquitous part of almost all children's and adolescents' lives, with 97% playing for at least one hour per day in the United States. The vast majority of research by psychologists on the effects of “gaming” has been on its negative impact: the potential harm related to violence, addiction, and depression. We recognize the value of that research; however, we argue that a more balanced perspective is needed, one that considers not only the possible negative effects but also the benefits of playing these ...

Autonomous and controlled motivation in a randomized controlled trial comparing school-based and computerized depression prevention programs
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-01-2014Abstract The depression prevention video game SPARX was shown to be equally as effective as the classroom-based depression prevention program 'Op Volle Kracht'(OVK) in reducing depressive symptoms among adolescents girls. Because video games are known for their engaging qualities, this study examined possible motivational benefits of SPARX compared to OVK. No differences in autonomous and controlled motivation were found between conditions at any time point. However, OVK was negatively associated with ...

Video Gaming and Children's Psychosocial Wellbeing: A Longitudinal Study
Repost from Google Scholar - 01-01-1970Abstract The effects of video games on children's psychosocial development remain the focus of debate. At two timepoints, 1 year apart, 194 children (7.27–11.43 years old; male= 98) reported their gaming frequency, and their tendencies to play violent video games, and to game (a) cooperatively and (b) competitively; likewise, parents reported their children's psychosocial health. Gaming at time one was associated with increases in emotion problems. Violent gaming was not associated with psychosocial changes. Cooperative ...
