“…All of the scales were self-report measures where the scale items were rated on either a 4-point or 5-point Likert scale. Most scales have been widely used to assess different dimensions of personal and family well-being (see e.g., Cooke, Melchert, & Connor, 2016;Olson et al, 2000;Swain, Harrigan, & Woog, 1995;Zhang & Chen, 2019) and have well established psychometric properties.…”

Objective: Evaluate the relationships between five family strengths dimensions (commitment, communication, cohesion, coping & competence) and personal and family well-being. Background: Noted family strengths experts contend that families who describe themselves as strong share a number of broad qualities or traits. Family strengths are viewed as internal resources that are hypothesized to be related to enhanced personal and family well-being. Method: Meta-analysis was used to determine the effect sizes between different family strengths dimensions and both parent and family well-being. The meta-analysis included 14 studies (N = 3,491 participants) conducted in 10 countries. The focus of analysis was the sizes of effects between each family strengths dimension and both parent and family well-being and whether the strengths of relations between family strengths and well-being differed for each family strength dimension. Results: Publication bias analysis indicated no differences in the sizes of effects for peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed research reports. Each of the family strengths dimensions was significantly related to both personal and family well-being. The size of effect for the relationship between family strengths and family well-being was larger than that for personal well-being. The between type of family strengths dimension analyses showed that the size of effect between family competence and personal and family well-being was smaller than those for each of the other family strengths dimensions. Conclusion: The findings support the hypothesis that different dimensions of family strengths are important predictors of personal and family well-being.

“…In addition, Cohen, Karmarck and Mermelstein [23] argued that perceived stress could also be considered as a well-being indicator (i.e., the psychological strain or distress resulting from exposure to unusual or demanding situations, known as stressors; Schabracq, Winnubst, & Cooper, 2002). Physical activity is associated with better mental health and could promote well-being [13]. Indeed, individuals who engage in regular physical activity the most are those who report the highest levels of well-being [12,13].…”

“…It could have the potential to reduce the negative impact of lockdown on well-being. Indeed, it has been widely demonstrated that physical activity contributes to higher levels of well-being [11][12][13]. Given the beneficial effects of physical activity on well-being, one might think that physical activity during the COVID19 lockdown had positive consequences on the well-being of individuals.…”

Objective. To examine the indirect relationships between physical activity, and well-being (i.e., need satisfaction, subjective vitality, and stress) of individuals, through recovery experiences (i.e., detachment from lockdown, relaxation, mastery and control over leisure time) during the spring 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.Design. Cross-sectional.Methods. 405 participants answered an online survey including questions on physical activity, recovery experiences, subjective vitality, perceived stress and basic psychological needs satisfaction. Structural equation modelling tested a full-mediated model in which physical activity predicted recovery experience, which in turn predicted well-being.Results. Physical activity was positively related to a latent variable representing recovery experiences, which in turn was positively related to a latent variable representing well-being.Conclusions. Physical activity carried out regularly during the COVID-19 lockdown predicted positively well-being through recovery experiences. The study results highlight the importance of maintaining or increasing physical activity during periods when recovery experiences and well-being may be threatened.

“…Furthermore, in the post-epidemic era, the changes that the pandemic brought in people's way of living and working will exert a persistent and profound impact on our daily life. A regular exercise routine and pleasure lifestyle is the key to maintaining physical and psychological health during a forced tough period due to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency as well as the whole lifespan [4,5]. Motion-sensing gameplay is an emerging branch of video games, it breaks through the conventional gamepad and button input method of electronic games by using the full-body control to realize the interaction between player and game environment.…”

As an important branch of video games and the integration of emerging motion-sensing technology, home motion-sensing games cannot only bring hedonic entertainment but also promote utilitarian benefits including exercise and social interaction for people to improve their physical and psychological health. As one of the most populous countries in the world, China has the largest number of households in the world but quite a low home game penetration rate due to the 13 year game industry winter for international enterprises. Whether Chinese customers have the intention of using motion-sensing games to improve their health status in the home environment will directly determine the commercial potential of the relevant industry in the Chinese market. In order to understand the motives of users and explore the market possibility and prospects of the game industry, this study adopts empirical research and structural equation modeling to construct a motivation model of Chinese consumers toward motion-sensing gameplay behavior in the household environment. We distributed 515 questionnaires to conduct a survey; 427 valid responses have been received, and 203 data, which meet the inclusion criteria of the required game experience, have been analyzed by SPSS25.0 and AMOS25.0. A structural equation model for the gameplay motivation has been constructed. The result shows that the three functional motivators, exercise (Path efficient = 0.40, p < 0.01), entertainment (Path efficient = 0.27, p < 0.01), and social interaction (Path efficient = 0.36, p < 0.01) of home motion-sensing games have a significantly positive impact on the user’s intention to play. Furthermore, the diversity and the time-and-place flexibility variables exert an important positive influence on the users’ gameplay behavior through their effects on the three main functional motive variables. To sum up, (1) exercise, (2) entertainment, and (3) social interaction are the main functional motivations of the Chinese consumers’ gameplay behaviors; (4) diversity and (5) time-and-place flexibility are the two main attribute motivators. The acceptance of Chinese users for home motion-sensing games remains positive and high. The motion-sensing game industry has broad market prospects in China through its potential in promoting consumer’s wellness and health in the home environment.
