Abstract

In recent years, the field of video games has developed at an overwhelmingly rapid rate. Worldwide, it has managed to attract more than two billion users, of which the most important percentage was represented by teenagers. While video gaming is one of the most popular leisure activities, it has been proven that it poses some potential threats to the physical and mental health. This study aims to identify the positive and negative effects associated with the excessive playing of video games. It has been found that there are many misconceptions about the impact of video games on health. Research focused on the negative effects found serious consequences such as: reduced physical activity, vision problems, reduced patience, decreased concentration, depression, anxiety, aggression and sleep disturbances. However, recent studies have also recognized the potential benefits. These include: developing social skills, boosting mood, increasing self-confidence, developing problem-solving skills and spatial imagination. In conclusion it is important continuing the research and collaboration among professionals in the field to improve the outcomes and treatment for those affected.
青少年沉迷电子游戏
近年来,电子游戏领域发展迅猛。在全球范围内,它已成功吸引了 20 多亿用户,其中青少年所占比例最大。虽然电子游戏是最受欢迎的休闲活动之一,但事实证明,它对身心健康构成了一些潜在的威胁。本研究旨在确定过度玩电子游戏所带来的积极和消极影响。研究发现,人们对电子游戏对健康的影响存在许多误解。侧重于负面影响的研究发现了一些严重后果,如:体力活动减少、视力问题、耐心下降、注意力不集中、抑郁、焦虑、攻击性和睡眠障碍。不过,最近的研究也认识到了潜在的益处。这些益处包括:培养社交技能、提高情绪、增强自信、培养解决问题的能力和空间想象力。总之,重要的是要继续开展研究,并在该领域的专业人员之间开展合作,以改善受影响者的治疗效果和治疗方法。
