电子游戏是一项非常受欢迎的休闲活动，全球用户超过20亿（Newzoo, 2017）。然而，媒体和专业人士都强调了过度玩电子游戏的潜在危险。通过目前的研究，我们旨在阐明电子游戏与玩家心理功能之间的关系。研究人员对2734人（男性2377人，女性357人，Mage = 23.06, SDage = 5.91）进行了性格、心理健康以及电子游戏习惯的问卷调查。结果显示，在心理症状、情感、应对和自尊方面，有问题的电子游戏与心理功能之间存在中等程度的负相关。此外，玩家玩游戏的原因和他们喜欢的游戏类型与心理功能有不同的关系，最显著的发现是分心动机玩家和动作游戏玩家。未来的研究需要检验这些心理健康风险是否反映了电子游戏的原因或后果。
Video gaming is an extremely popular leisure-time activity with more than two billion users worldwide (Newzoo, 2017). However, the media as well as professionals have underscored the potential dangers of excessive video gaming. With the present research, we aimed to shed light on the relation between video gaming and gamers’ psychological functioning. Questionnaires on personality and psychological health as well as video gaming habits were administered to 2,734 individuals (2,377 male, 357 female, Mage = 23.06, SDage = 5.91). Results revealed a medium-sized negative correlation between problematic video gaming and psychological functioning with regard to psychological symptoms, affectivity, coping, and self-esteem. Moreover, gamers’ reasons for playing and their preferred game genres were differentially related to psychological functioning with the most notable findings for distraction-motivated players as well as action game players. Future studies are needed to examine whether these psychological health risks reflect the causes or consequences of video gaming.
