摘要

在在线多人游戏中，女性玩家不仅经常受到一般的骚扰，还经常受到性骚扰。虽然有研究调查了工作场所骚扰和相关应对策略对女性心理健康的影响，但没有在在线游戏环境中进行类似的研究。本研究调查了成年女性玩家，以评估女性玩家遭受性骚扰和性骚扰、应对策略(如自责、寻求帮助)和心理健康(如痛苦、焦虑)之间的关系。一般和性骚扰与痛苦和焦虑呈正相关。自责和寻求帮助分别缓和了一般骚扰与痛苦和焦虑的关联。研究结果强调了在研究应对策略如何缓和骚扰对女性玩家心理健康的影响时，考虑骚扰的类型和程度的重要性。

How Does Exposure to General and Sexual Harassment Relate to Female Gamers’ Coping Strategies and Mental Health?

Female gamers are often exposed to not only general harassment but also sexual harassment during online multiplayer games. Although studies have investigated the effects of harassment and associated coping strategies on the mental health of females within the workplace, comparable studies have not been conducted within online gaming environments. This study surveyed adult female gamers to assess the relationship between female gamers’ exposure to general and sexual harassment, coping strategies (i.e., self-blame, seeking help), and mental health (i.e., distress, anxiety). General and sexual harassment were positively associated with distress and anxiety. Self-blame and seeking help moderated the association of general harassment with distress and anxiety, respectively. Findings highlight the importance of considering the type and level of harassment when examining how coping strategies may moderate the effects of harassment on female gamers’ mental health.
