Angesichts der erheblichen negativen Folgen von problematischem Videospielen bei Jugendlichen ist es entscheidend, Risikofaktoren und Schutzfaktoren zu identifizieren, um wirksame Präventions- und Interventionsstrategien zu entwickeln. Ziel der aktuellen Studie war es, die Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen adaptiven und maladaptiven kognitiven Emotionsregulationsstrategien und sowohl lang andauerndem als auch problematischem Videospielen bei Jugendlichen in Deutschland zu untersuchen. 626 Jugendliche der Klassen 5 – 10 füllten den Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire aus und machten Angaben zur Spielzeit sowie zu Symptomen problematischen Spielens. Katastrophisieren und Akzeptanz waren positiv mit lang andauerndem Spielen assoziiert, während eine Refokussierung auf Planung negativ assoziiert war. Die maladaptiven Emotionsregulationsstrategien Rumination und Andere beschuldigen waren positiv mit problematischem Spielen assoziiert, während die adaptive Strategie positive Neubewertung negativ assoziiert war. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Rolle der Emotionsregulation beim problematischen Spielen und ebnen den Weg für zukünftige Studien, die sich auf Entwicklungsmechanismen konzentrieren sowie für Erkenntnisse zu Präventions- und Interventionsmaßnahmen.
Given the significant negative consequences of problematic video gaming among adolescents, it is crucial to identify risk and protective factors to inform effective prevention and intervention strategies. The aim of the current study was to examine the associations between adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and both prolonged and problematic video gaming among early-to-mid adolescents in Germany. A total of 626 adolescents in Grades 5 – 10 completed the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, as well as providing details on their prolonged gaming time and symptoms of problematic gaming. Catastrophizing and acceptance were positively associated with prolonged gaming time, while refocus on planning showed a negative association. The maladaptive strategies rumination and blaming others were positively associated with problematic gaming, and the adaptive strategy positive reappraisal showed a negative association. The findings highlight the role of emotion regulation in problematic gaming and pave the way for future studies focusing on developmental mechanisms as well as insights for prevention and intervention measures.

Middle childhood marks an important phase for moral and social-emotional development, yet little research has focused on a combined focus within this age range. A person-centered research approach could capture the complex co-development of the moral self and behavior problems. We thus sought to determine exploratively what emergent subgroups/profiles exist when examining combinations of moral self, emotional, conduct and peer problems in middle childhood. For the study, we recruited 369 children aged five to eleven (Mage = 8.19, SDage = 1.30) in Germany. Children completed a questionnaire to assess their moral self (i.e. ascribed importance of moral characteristics), and their parents/caregivers completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Using cluster analytic strategies, three profiles were identified. Profile 1 (high moral/high problems) comprised children exhibiting high moral self, emotional problems, peer problems, and average conduct problems (24.12%). Profile 2 (low moral/high problems) included children with low moral self and high emotional, peer, and conduct problems (14.91%). Profile 3 (moderate moral/low problems) encompassed children with average moral self and lower emotional, peer, and conduct problems (60.98%). We discuss the findings and note that future research should strive for a comprehensive understanding of children’s social-emotional and moral development, considering the intricate interplay between moral self and behavior problems.
