“…49,51,52 This can be regarded as the simplest way videogames can interact with players' emotions and mood, and it is the specific phenomenon investigated by mood repair. 58,59 According to the mood management perspective, 73 people select entertainment for pleasure-seeking (or stress avoidance) purposes. Moreover, the selection of meaningful entertainment experiences is associated with appreciation; thus, games also provide players with experiences that are not only enjoyable but also potentially deeply enriching.…”

“…Other recent studies deeply understood the mechanisms and opportunities of videogames for mood repair. Rieger et al 58,59 explored in a laboratory setting how in-game success, as a prerequisite for satisfying the need for competence and autonomy, positively influences mood repair and game enjoyment. With the same approach, Reinecke et al 60 extended traditional mood management theory research by investigating the influence of the intrinsic needs for competence and autonomy on selective exposure to videogames and tested the influence of satisfying these needs on resultant mood repair.…”

“…Some studies addressed motivational variables in game playing, such as interest being self-propelling, even though the original reason for pursuing it has been lost (Rieger et al 2014). Moreover, taxonomy of gaming interest has not been defined.…”

Individual gameplay interest is affected by numerous factors and a competition setting is also of importance as there are factors that need to be managed. To understand the motivational variables related to an educational game competition, this study explored the interrelatedness between self-efficacy, competitive anxiety, and gameplay interest in a one-on-one Chinese idiom string up game competition. Effective data from 278 elementary school students from grades five to six were collected and subjected to confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of this study showed that the higher the level of competitive anxiety, the lower the degree of gameplay interest (i.e. Like, Enjoyment, and Engagement). In addition, self-efficacy in learning Chinese idioms was negatively associated with competitive anxiety. The implication of this study contributed towards understanding that low competitive anxiety is more facilitative to interest in gameplay. The results also suggested that enhancing self-efficacy in a specific task can eliminate anxiety and support players' interests to play the game in a competitive setting.

There is limited research on mental health interventions delivered in a digital game format and even less to guide developers on how to develop such games. This review focuses on understanding how to develop therapeutic digital games based primarily on mental health intervention games that have been empirically tested. The review was generated through database searches and backward search techniques for digital game-based interventions for specific mental disorders. We evaluated digital games that were based on validated psychological treatments. We located 24 studies and 18 games that met our search criteria. These games and their outcomes have been summarized. This review showed that these types of games have the potential to make an impact on mental health concerns but that there are currently few digital games available for the treatment or prevention of mental disorders. In addition, guidelines for digital mental health intervention game development have been presented. The consolidation of guidelines addressing multiple game development factors (e.g., time, cost, engagement) may help those interested in developing new therapeutic games that target a greater variety of disorders, thereby expanding access to larger populations.
