社会上最紧迫的问题涉及社会困境，但很少有人认识和理解其核心组成部分。我们考察了在教育环境中使用的一个严重的社会困境游戏如何影响对一个经典社会困境--公地悲剧--的理解。参与者(N=186)被随机分配到两种游戏条件中的一种，或者不玩游戏的只上一课的条件(传统的有阅读的课程)。在探索优先的条件下，参与者在课前将游戏作为一种探索性学习活动。在第一课的情况下，参与者在课后玩游戏。这两种游戏条件都被评为比只上一节课的条件更有趣。然而，探索优先条件的参与者表现出比其他条件下的参与者更高的概念理解和对现实世界困境的自发转移，这是没有区别的。这些好处是对通过游戏探索的社会概念(例如，自利、相互依赖)的选择性。这些好处并没有出现在生态概念上(例如，稀缺、悲剧)，这些概念在一开始的指导中就被教授给了每个人。政策偏好在不同条件下是相同的。当学生们可以自己探索复杂的社交困境时，严肃的社交困境游戏为概念发展提供了一个很有前途的教育工具。
Society’s most pressing problems involve social dilemmas, yet few individuals recognize and understand their core components. We examined how a serious social dilemma game used in an educational setting impacted understanding of a classic social dilemma, the tragedy of the commons. Participants (N= 186) were randomly assigned to one of two gameplay conditions or a Lesson-Only condition without the game (traditional lesson with a reading). In the Explore-First condition, participants played the game as an exploratory learning activity before the lesson. In the Lesson-First condition, participants played the game after the lesson. Both gameplay conditions were rated as more interesting than the Lesson-Only condition. However, participants in the Explore-First condition exhibited higher conceptual understanding and spontaneous transfer to real-world dilemmas than the other conditions, which did not differ. These benefits were selective to social concepts (eg, self-interest, interdependency) explored via gameplay. These benefits did not occur for ecological concepts (eg, scarcity, tragedy), which were taught to everyone during the beginning instructions. Policy preferences were equal across conditions. Serious social dilemma games offer a promising educational tool for conceptual development when students can explore the complexities of social dilemmas for themselves.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
