“…In video games, players usually encounter many challenges and after successfully dealing with those challenges, players typically feel a great sense of accomplishment (Ryan et al, 2006). The skills and abilities learned in video games may also be transferrable to make players more confident in coping with real-life tasks (Rochat & Armengol, 2020). Playing strategy and role-playing games, for instance, is associated with the improvement of problem-solving skills (Adachi & Willoughby, 2017); playing first-person shooter games can improve perceptual attention skills (Mayer, 2019).…”

This study examines three potential mediating mechanisms regarding the effects of regular video game playing on psychological resilience: (a) the emotion mechanism; (b) the competence mechanism; and (c) the social mechanism. Based on a survey of 554 university students, the results show that the frequency and duration of playing video games have positive indirect effects on psychological resilience via game experiences of positive affect and social connection, and a negative indirect effect via game experiences of negative affect. Contrary to expectations, game competence experience is negatively related to psychological resilience. By clarifying the mechanisms linking playing video games to psychological resilience, our study also provides insights into the value of future game-based interventions. Public Policy Relevance StatementWe explore the mediation mechanisms linking video game playing and players' psychological resilience. The frequency and duration of playing games are found to be positively related to resilience via game experiences of positive affect and social connection, and negatively related to resilience via in-game negative affect and sense of competence. Therefore, while playing video games can have certain negative effects, it may also be beneficial in helping players cope with real-life adversities.

Games as learning media have not received a portion of attention in the world of education. This paper aims to explain that through game-based group services can foster an attitude of tolerance. The study is based on a qualitative research type with data sources in the form of observation and literature studies. The study findings show that playing Uno is considered capable of forming an attitude of tolerance through group counseling services. The UNO game with a group counseling service approach is considered capable of forming an attitude of tolerance. This can be seen from the UNO game process which contains the value of togetherness and respect for differences. In group counseling, the UNO card simulation game technique is an alternative to foster tolerance in diversity. The UNO card simulation game by forming a circle can increase intimacy, unity and kinship between members. The discussion process that is built in this technique is considered to be able to train individuals to control themselves, respect and respect various differences of opinion. Thus, playing UNO in groups can form an attitude of togetherness and tolerance for cultural, religious and ethnic differences. This study suggests the need to use games in building an attitude of tolerance, especially in the process of multicultural learning in educational institutions.

“…Recently, Rochat et al ( 2017 ) proposed that McGonigal’s ( 2015 ) game metaphor could promote self-efficacy beliefs in one’s ability to demonstrate resilience during career transitions. More recently, Rochat and Armengol ( 2020 ) suggested that this metaphor could also be used to make career exploration and development tasks more invigorating for clients who love video games.…”

“…Subsequently, Pryor and Bright ( 2009 ) highlighted the benefits of the game metaphor to help career clients understand the complex nature of today’s world of work. Given the tremendous rise of video games in Western societies (Entertainment Software Association [ESA], 2017 ), it seems legitimate to propose including them in this metaphor (Rochat et al, 2017 ; Rochat & Armengol, 2020 ). In the present article, we posit the SuperBetter approach (McGonigal, 2015 ) as a meaningful way to operationalise the game metaphor into career counselling settings and we examine how each component of this method can help individuals experience successful career transitions.…”

Meeting the psychological, social, and economic challenges of career transitions requires people to be increasingly flexible and hardy. In this article, we propose that envisioning one's life as a game can foster wellbeing, coping strategies, and success with career transitions. The SuperBetter approach (McGonigal, 2015. Superbetter: A revolutionary approach to getting stronger, happier, braver and more resilient. Penguin) is presented as a metaphor that can provide clients with a new perspective for their lives and career narratives. The way each component of this metaphor can contribute to individuals' well-being, motivation and success throughout career transitions is detailed. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
