随着游戏堵塞在游戏开发商和有兴趣成为游戏开发者的人中变得越来越受欢迎，每年发生的堵塞事件的数量以天文数字的速度增长。鉴于这种受欢迎程度，很明显，参与者正在从参与中获得一些内在价值。这似乎以多种形式出现，包括新朋友、商业伙伴关系、投资组合、发展实践、技能获得，以及对个人能力的信心增强。这项研究专门探讨了参加即兴演奏对个人自我效能感的影响，这些自我效能感与在即兴表演中成功表演所需的技能有关。游戏拥堵往往是社交活动，参与者往往是社交程度较低的个体。当整个团队都在学习新技能时，让参与者不得不在最后期限的压力下与他人交流他们的想法并表达自己，这听起来像是导致灾难的秘诀，然而，事实并非如此。在佛罗里达州奥兰多的2016全球游戏堵塞现场进行了赛前和赛后自我效能测量。这项研究的结果表明，自我效能感的显著提高与在游戏中取得成功所需的社交技能有关。开发游戏的兴奋和挑战可能有助于打破社交障碍，并提供一个机会来练习有目的的社交技能，这对参与者是有激励作用的。
As game jams become more popular among both game developers and people interested in becoming one, the number of jams that occur each year has grown at an astronomical pace. Given this popularity, it is clear that participants are gaining some intrinsic value from participation. This appears to come in many forms including new friends, business partnerships, portfolio pieces, development practice, skill acquisition, and improved confidence in personal abilities. This research set out specifically to explore the effects of game jam participation on personal self-efficacy related to the skills required to successfully perform at a jam. Game jams tend to be social events and participants are often times less social individuals. Putting participants in the situation of having to communicate their ideas with others and express themselves under the stress of a deadline while the entire team is acquiring new skills sounds like a recipe for disaster, however, this is not the case. A pre and post-event self-efficacy measure was administered at the 2016 Global Game Jam site in Orlando Fl. The results of this research show significant improvements in self-efficacy related to the social skills required to be successful at a game jam. It is possible that the excitement and challenge of developing a game helps facilitate breaking down of social walls and provides an opportunity to practice socialization skills with purpose that is motivating to participants.
