目的：为心理健康专业人员提供有关玩电子游戏对儿童福祉影响的最新文献综述。方法：对 MEDLINE 和 PSYCHINFO 1966 年至 1996 年所有英文文章进行计算机文献检索。各种研究分为不同的部分。结果：玩电子游戏会带来多种身体影响，包括新陈代谢加快、心率加快、癫痫发作和肌腱炎。玩电子游戏可能会导致攻击性行为，尤其是年幼的孩子。精神病理学或学习成绩与玩电子游戏之间没有直接关系。结论：电子游戏有一些负面影响，但它们也是有价值的学习工具。关于视频游戏的作用的研究还不够。由于缺乏长期研究和不一致的研究结果，数据也受到限制。
Objective: To provide mental health professionals with an up-to-date review of the literature regarding the effects of playing video games on the well-being of children. Method: A computerized literature search of MEDLINE and PSYCHINFO of all articles written in English from 1966 to 1996 was performed. The various studies are organized into different sections. Results: Playing video games is associated with a variety of physical effects including increased metabolic and heart rate, seizures, and tendinitis. Aggressive behaviour may result from playing video games, especially among younger children. There is no direct relationship between psychopathology or academic performance and playing video games. Conclusions: Video games have some adverse effects, but they are also valuable learning tools. Research about the role of video games is inadequate. The data are also limited by the lack of long-term studies and inconsistent findings.
