摘要

战利品箱是电子游戏中的物品,玩家付费打开后,最终会随机获得一件最初价值未知的物品。由于青少年和成年人都很容易获得战利品箱,因此战利品箱一直与赌博有关。本研究的目的是探索战利品箱的使用情况,并分析它是否与内疚、失控和情绪困扰有关。为此,研究人员对 475 名参与者(266 名青少年和 209 名成年人)进行了调查,了解他们在战利品箱和游戏方面的习惯。结果显示,青少年比成年人在战利品箱上投入了更多的金钱。在网络平台(Twitch、YouTube)上公布新物品时,这种支出会增加。此外,由于战利品箱的随机性,没有获得梦寐以求的物品很常见,这预示着更大程度的内疚和情绪困扰,而获得物品则预示着随后的失控。因此,45.5%的人对购买行为表示内疚,50%的人表示痛苦,17%的人表示失控。综上所述,掠夺盒越来越多地出现在电子游戏中,由于其造成的心理情感后果,未来的研究有必要解决这一问题,以便制定预防策略,并为弱势群体提供支持。

Loot boxes use as a new form of gambling within video games.

Loot boxes are items within video games which players pay to open and, ultimately, to randomly obtain an object whose value is initially unknown. Being easily accessible for both teenagers and adults, loot boxes have been associated with gambling. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of loot boxes and to analyze whether it is associated with guilt, loss of control, and emotional distress. To this end, 475 participants (266 adolescents and 209 adults) were surveyed on their habits regarding loot boxes and gaming. The results showed that teenagers invest more money in loot boxes than adults. This expenditure increases when a new item is announced on online platforms (Twitch, YouTube). Additionally, not obtaining the coveted items, which is common due to loot box randomness, predicts greater levels of guilt and emotional distress, while obtaining them predicts subsequent loss of control. Thus, 45.5% reported guilt over purchasing, 50% distress and 17% loss of control. Summarizing, loot boxes are increasingly present in video games, and owing to their psycho-emotional outcomes, it is necessary for future research to address this matter in order to develop prevention strategies and to provide support to vulnerable populations.
