Abstract

Social gaming—online gameplay involving digital interactions with others—is a common form of social media use among adolescents. Research on this topic has neglected the social aspect of gaming and the potential role of social gaming in adolescent development. In this article, we define social gaming, drawing on interdisciplinary theories to clarify how it is both similar to and distinct from the app‐based social media platforms that have received more research attention. We outline how social gaming may be uniquely rewarding and influential for adolescents, given three key features of adolescent development: peer relationships, identity development, and neurobiological development. We address how individual differences—including those related to social identities, neurobiology, and pre‐existing social skills—may shape social gaming experiences and related outcomes. We conclude with a call for more work on how social gaming influences adolescent development and an agenda for researchers.

青少年社交游戏是社交媒体的一种形式：呼吁发展科学

社交游戏--涉及与他人进行数字互动的在线游戏--是青少年使用社交媒体的一种常见形式。有关这一主题的研究忽视了游戏的社交方面，也忽视了社交游戏在青少年成长过程中的潜在作用。在本文中，我们将借鉴跨学科理论对社交游戏进行定义，以阐明社交游戏与受到更多研究关注的基于应用程序的社交媒体平台有何相似之处和不同之处。鉴于青少年发展的三个关键特征：同伴关系、身份发展和神经生物学发展，我们概述了社交游戏如何对青少年产生独特的回报和影响。我们探讨了个体差异--包括与社会身份、神经生物学和已有社交技能相关的差异--如何影响社交游戏体验和相关结果。最后，我们呼吁开展更多有关社交游戏如何影响青少年发展的工作，并为研究人员提出了一项议程。
