Abstract

ABSTRACT The relationship between adolescents’ use of video games and their well-being is controversial and largely unexplored during the COVID −19 pandemic. This study examined the association between adolescent video game use and well-being during a nationwide lockdown (March-May 2020) and investigated whether this association was mediated by emotional self-efficacy and moderated by positive coping. The study involved 168 Italian adolescents aged 14–19 years (M = 16.6 years, SD = 1.6). Data were collected through an anonymous online questionnaire. Moderated mediation analysis showed that playing video games was indirectly associated with lower health complaints and higher affective well-being by mediating emotional self-efficacy. In addition, positive coping was found to moderate the relationship between video game use and emotional self-efficacy. Results indicate that both emotional self-efficacy and positive coping enabled adolescents to benefit from playing video games in terms of individual well-being during home confinement.

在COVID-19封锁期间玩电子游戏与青少年健康有关吗?情绪自我效能感与积极应对的关系

在COVID - 19大流行期间，青少年使用电子游戏与他们的幸福感之间的关系存在争议，并且在很大程度上未被探索。本研究调查了全国封锁期间(2020年3月至5月)青少年电子游戏使用与幸福感之间的关系，并调查了这种关系是否由情绪自我效能介导，并由积极应对调节。该研究涉及168名14-19岁的意大利青少年(M = 16.6岁，SD = 1.6)。数据是通过匿名在线问卷收集的。有调节的中介分析表明，玩电子游戏通过中介情绪自我效能感，与较低的健康抱怨和较高的情感幸福感间接相关。此外，积极应对对电子游戏使用与情绪自我效能之间的关系有调节作用。结果表明，情绪自我效能和积极应对均能使青少年在居家隔离期间从玩电子游戏中获益。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
