"China has won!" This year, the EDG won the championship, the major college boys were excited as if they were new year's eve, what kind of charm the game has, can stimulate the nerves of young people like this, no matter how controversial, this is also a victory at a certain level in China. The right and wrong of the game has once again stimulated people's thinking, are you also having such an experience: "play another hand and sleep", often become a blank check, today the captain broke this "addiction". Friends who are interested in this topic, please give the captain a high recommendation, we will start right away.
Addicted to the game
In 2018, the World Health Organization has included "game addiction" in the chapter on addictive diseases, and for a time the news that "game addiction" was included in mental illness caused an uproar in society. But did you know? The addictiveness of the game has little to do with the game itself, and its mechanism of action does not act directly on endocrine like alcohol and nicotine, but the continuous stimulation of the "motivational feedback" mechanism in the brain. Next, the captain explained it in a more popular way.
To understand addiction, we need to understand the role of dopamine, our brain itself has such a reward mechanism, everything that is conducive to survival and genetic continuation will be rewarded by the brain, such as eating delicious food, making money, falling in love with a person... The brain begins to secrete dopamine, so dopamine is the brain to our body factory to send the "wage", if the wage can only exist in the bank, you are not excited, we all know that the salary can be used to buy a lot of 4 things, to meet your needs, this is the reason why the salary is happy, so the brain also has to have a thing called "dopamine D2 receptor", that is, the place where the wage is consumed, the more this D2, the happier you will be. If there is no land to spend, your salary will have no place to play, and you will naturally not be happy.
Game
Well, under what circumstances will D2 decrease? Studies have confirmed that social pressure can directly lead to a decrease in D2, such as: less care, social status, unemployment, etc., in short, this pressure will invariably make people feel a strong sense of helplessness. D2 is less, the brain reward sensitivity increases, that is, it is not easy to feel the happiness of the reward, there is no way, you have to forcibly secrete more dopamine, the source of your happiness will be like a "bottomless pit" to fill in the dissatisfaction, and then enter a vicious circle.
According to a 2007 survey, about 12% of gamers reached the level of addiction. Try asking yourself: Have you lost control of playing the game? Giving up other life interests and daily activities in order to play games? Although there is already a clear negative effect, but it can't stop at all? If that's an answer in the affirmative, then you may have "game addiction".
Coupled with the game's cheap + convenient + sustainable characteristics, this is a super cost-effective way of entertainment. It can be said that the designers of the game will skillfully combine your pleasure and game operation from the graphics, music, reward mechanisms, etc. All of this is actually not related to the game of eight rods, this design is a psychologist called Skinner invented, he was originally a study of operability conditioning, once successfully let the pigeons learn to play ping-pong. His theoretical research laid the psychological foundation for game design and designed a set of addiction circuits. It's not all our fault that we like to play games, because games are a beautiful whirlpool.
Knowing the "addictive" closed loop, we can break the closed loop in some places, it will not roll into a circle, you can try to weaken the sensory stimulation of the game, such as only turning on the effect sound, turning off the music and character language; reducing the picture texture, removing the color, and replacing it with black and white. Imagine a disco turning off the music and lights dancing around... And you can try a more high-end game, which is "poison attacking poison", because the game is also called the ninth art, away from some low-level game stimulation; or play a story stand-alone game, away from the endless game background... If you want to play a career, you can enter some game boot camps to try, nine out of ten will not be able to stick to it, entertainment and careers are very different. But these superficial methods may not be easy for people who are really "addictive".
To sum up, self-satisfaction is not enough, and the more "bitter" the child in some aspect of reality, the easier it is to indulge in games. There is a famous "monkey addiction" experiment, first use drugs to make monkeys addicted, and then let the monkeys live together, because by nature they will naturally choose a "monkey king", the monkey king's addiction to drugs has declined, and the monkeys with low social status are more dependent on drugs.
Then again, who is creating the conditions for addiction? Especially children, who on earth is causing them to feel stressed and feel so helpless? There have long been countless studies that show that game addiction is positively related to low self-esteem levels in adolescents, the main source of stress in children is family, school and peers, the vast majority of stress is inevitable, and a good parent-child relationship is an important buffer for children to cope with these pressures. Because children are children after all, unlike adults, many pressures are not positive to change, so the feeling of helplessness is more intense, directly leading to a reduction in D2, then the possibility of addiction is greater and more understandable.
"Apathy" is a characteristic of addictive people, in fact, seemingly indifferent to anything attitude, behind the extreme desire for a sense of achievement, praise, a sense of control, and people who are addicted to games can only get in the game world. If a child's desires can be understood and supported in real life, and those stresses can be released and channeled, why should they be obtained in games. The same is true for adults.
Say some words that parents don't like to hear, if the child has "game addiction", can you think about it, whether you have "control addiction", "shirk responsibility addiction", "can not communicate well addiction" The game itself is not a bad thing, who pushes the children into the whirlpool of game addiction, we want to experience the joy of the game, not only to experience life in the game. Well, I'm here today, and we welcome everyone to discuss it enthusiastically. Life is very good, thank you for having you, we are not separated.
