网络游戏成瘾者的情绪加工异常

Abnormal emotional processing in people with Internet Gaming Disorder

研究表明,网络游戏成瘾(internet gaming disorder,IGD)个体对消极情绪刺激,尤其是愤怒情绪刺激存在异常的加工偏向,而且IGD个体面对消极刺激会产生过高的情绪唤起并在调节消极情绪方面出现困难,以上情绪加工能力的异常会在IGD的维持和发展中起到重要作用。同时,IGD个体情绪加工相关脑区也出现了异常,例如杏仁核、前扣带皮层、脑岛和部分前额叶皮层。未来研究可以更多关注IGD的群体情绪加工、情绪加工的时间进程、有效提高IGD个体情绪调节能力的方法以及IGD青少年的情绪加工问题。此外,也可以通过多样化地设置和呈现情绪刺激来达到不同的研究目的,同时还需要考虑被试的性别比例以及被试长期和短期的情绪状态对情绪加工研究结果的影响。

Previous studies have identified that people with Internet Gaming Disorder(IGD)exhibit processing biases toward negative emotional stimuli,especially those associated with anger,in contrast to their healthy counterparts.Additionally,negative stimuli elicit excessive emotional arousal in people with IGD,yet they encounter difficulties in effective emotional regulation.These emotional processing abnormalities play a pivotal role in the maintenance and development of IGD.Simultaneously,anomalies are also observed in brain regions linked with emotional processing in people with IGD,including the amygdala,anterior cingulate cortex,insula,and portions of the prefrontal cortex.Future investigations could focus more on the group emotional processing in IGD,the temporal dynamics of emotional processing in IGD,strategies to enhance the emotional regulation ability of people with IGD,and the emotional processing of adolescents with IGD.Furthermore,designing and presenting emotional stimuli in diverse ways can be employed to achieve various research purposes.Meanwhile,the effects of the gender ratio of participants,as well as both long-term and short-term emotional states,on the results of emotional processing studies should also be taken into consideration.
