玩电子游戏在年轻人中继续流行。尽管许多研究都探讨了电子游戏对攻击性和成瘾等负面结果的影响，但很少有研究调查潜在的积极结果。然而，最近的研究正在解决这种不平衡问题。在本文中，我们回顾了其中的一些研究，特别是表明玩视频游戏与增强幸福感、解决问题的能力、群体间关系和体育活动之间存在联系的研究。此外，我们还讨论了自决理论如何提供连接这些积极影响领域的基础理论框架。我们还讨论了正在进行的研究的影响，这些研究进一步加深了我们对视频游戏如何影响青少年发展的了解，包括检查视频游戏的玩法以及从童年到成年早期的调整的纵向研究。
Playing video games continues to be popular among youth. Although many studies have examined the impact of video games on negative outcomes, such as aggression and addiction, fewer studies have investigated potential positive outcomes. However, recent studies are addressing this imbalance. In this article, we review some of this research, specifically studies indicating a link between playing video games and enhanced well-being, problem-solving skills, intergroup relations, and physical activity. In addition, we discuss how self-determination theory may provide an underlying theoretical framework linking these domains of positive effects. We also address implications for ongoing research that furthers our knowledge of how video games affect youth development, including longitudinal studies that examine video game play and adjustment from childhood to young adulthood.
