The Impact of Parent-child Sports Games on Children's Psychological Development / El impacto de los juegos deportivos entre padres e hijos en el desarrollo psicológico de los niños

Childhood is a stage of rapid psychological development, movement and psychological development are inseparable. At this stage, games are the main form of activity for children which play a dominant role in promoting children's psychological development. By implementing parent-child sports game intervention activities, children can prevent psychological disorders or behavioural problems, help them better adapt to social life, and make more effective contributions to society and humanity. Therefore, current research aimed to check the impact of parent-child sports games on children's psychological development. For this purpose, survey subjects were 50 students from large class of kindergarten A and 50 students from the large class of kindergarten B. An experimental research design was applied by using control and experimental group. The findings that the experimental group showed significant improvements in cognitive ability, emotional stability, willpower, and personality shaping compared to the control group. Moreover, their social adaptability was notably higher, fostering smoother communication and harmonious interpersonal relationships. The findings highlight the importance of early engagement in sports game activities to promote psychological health and resilience in preschool children, emphasizing the need for integrating such activities into early childhood education and parental involvement programs. The research also explored a new research area for further research.(AU)

Effects of Sports Games Combined with English Teaching on Children's Attention and Learning Performance / Efectos de los juegos deportivos combinados con la enseñanza del inglés sobre la atención y el rendimiento del aprendizaje de los niños

The teaching principle of "music teaching" is implemented to facilitate children's learning through play and behaviour. During classroom instruction, teachers should appropriately incorporate sports competitions to foster students' interest in sports, ensure their active participation, and facilitate the development of their athletic abilities. During the primary school stage, students experience rapid development in their physical and mental attributes. The author administered oral and written English assessments to randomly selected classes from Grade 3 to Grade 6 at South Road Primary School, which is affiliated with A University. The author selected students who scored below 60 for the attention QPT test in each grade. From this group, we selected 10 students with low, average, and high attention levels. This resulted in a total of 30 students in each grade forming the control class. We compared the QPT scores between the 30 individuals in the experimental group and the 30 individuals in the control group. The experimental class and the control class exhibited a notable disparity in academic performance across grades 3 to 6. The implementation of experimental teaching resulted in significant improvements in the attention QPT scores of both the upper and lower grades in the experimental class. The study demonstrates that sustained adherence to teaching children English through sports games can effectively enhance their attention levels. Furthermore, implementing sports game teaching aligns with children's psychological characteristics and significantly enhances their performance in English learning.(AU)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for improving the performance of chess players suffering from anxiety disorders

Previous research has suggested that brief protocols based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are efficacious in improving elite chess players' performance without clinical problems. These promising results warranted the examination of the effect of longer ACT interventions with chess players suffering from emotional difficulties. This study advances in this direction by presenting two case studies of elite chess players experiencing anxiety disorders. Each participant was matched to a control participant with similar characteristics. The ACT interventions were conducted in 5 sessions and with occasional follow-ups during the following year. The primary dependent variable was an objective measure of chess performance (ELO Performance). Data analysis was conducted using the JZS+AR Bayesian hypothesis testing for single-case designs and the nonparametric Tau-U statistic. Control participants did not significantly improve their chess performance during the follow-up, but chess players who received the intervention showed significant increases in their performance. Both treated participants experienced clinically significant reductions in symptomatology and improved valued living after the intervention. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the potential benefit of applying ACT to improve chess performance in players with clinical problems (AU)

La protección al consumidor en las webs de juego online de los operadores con licencia en España / Consumer protection on online gambling websites hosted by licensed operators in Spain

La evolución del sector del juego online en España muestra una tendencia alcista desde el inicio del mercado regulado. Al margen de su impacto económico, es preciso tomar en consideración los aspectos sociales, de orden público y de salud asociados a esta actividad recreativa. Con el fin de promocionar actitudes de juego moderado, no compulsivo y responsable, en el artículo 8 de la Ley 13/2011, de 27 de mayo, de regulación del juego, se establece la obligatoriedad de desarrollar esta actividad lúdica desde una política integral de responsabilidad social corporativa que contemple acciones preventivas, de sensibilización, intervención y control, así como medidas para paliar los efectos negativos producidos. En este contexto, el objetivo general de esta investigación reside en analizar la política de protección al consumidor en las webs de juego responsable de los operadores de juego online con licencia en nuestro país. De la muestra inicial de 45 operadores que dispone, al menos, de un sitio web que ofrece juego online, 40 presentan una página web operativa. Las variables objeto de estudio se configuran en torno a los dos componentes principales de cualquier programa de prevención de adicciones (1) Información y sensibilización; (2) Promoción de medidas preventivas específicas. Se observa que, en líneas generales, los operadores de juego online cumplen con el deber de información sobre el juego con control, aunque se precisan mejoras que afectan tanto al fondo como a la forma de dichos mensajes

Since market regulation was first implemented, the online gambling sector in Spain has exhibited a significant upward trend. In addition to its financial impact, the social, public well-being and health implications of this leisure activity should also be taken into account. In order to foster moderate, non-compulsive and responsible attitudes towards gambling, Article 8 of the 2011 law regulating the sector requires that this leisure activity be carried out in line with a coherent policy of corporate social responsibility that encompasses prevention, awareness-raising, intervention and oversight measures, as well as strategies to deal with any negative consequences of such gambling. Against this backdrop, the overall purpose of our study is to explore the consumer protection policies posted on online gambling websites hosted by licensed operators in Spain. Of the 45 operators detected in our initial research sample, each hosting at least one online gambling website, 40 run an operational web page. The research methodology used here is content analysis. The variables explored relate to the two main dimensions of any addiction prevention program: (1) information and awareness-raising, and (2) the promotion of specific prevention measures. In general terms, real compliance with basic prevention criteria requires improvements both in terms of the content and form of these communications

Recreación educativa en la escuela: desde la actividad física hacia el fortalecimiento de la convivencia escolar / Educational recreation at school: from physical activity to strengthening school coexistence

Esta investigación presenta una propuesta para la comprensión de la recreación educativa y su relación con la convivencia en las escuelas. La propuesta se desarrolló a partir de un proceso de evaluación realizada a un programa gubernamental chileno, ejecutado desde el año 2017 en 371 escuelas a lo largo del país. Esta evaluación implicó una revisión bibliográfica, la aplicación de encuestas a sus participantes y una aproximación cualitativa con estudio de casos múltiple en tres escuelas. Si bien el programa comenzó con una orientación que enfatizó la actividad física como espacio de recreación y promotor de salud, los resultados sugieren avanzar hacia una concepción de recreación educativa que tiene implicaciones no sólo sobre la salud integral de los estudiantes sino también en el fortalecimiento de procesos sociales transversales en la comunidad educativa como son los relacionados con el despliegue de una convivencia inclusiva, democrática y pacífica en las escuelas

This study presents a proposal for comprehension of educational recreation and its relation-ship with school climate. The proposal was developed based on an evaluation carried out in a Chilean government program which is in place since 2017 in 371 schools throughout the country. The evaluation involved a literature review, the administration of surveys to its participants and a qualitative approach with multiple case studies in three schools. Although the program began with an orientation that emphasized physical activity as a recreational space and a promoter of health, findings suggest moving towards a conception of educational recreation that has implications not only about the integral health of the students but also in the strengthening of transversal social processes in the educational community, such as those related to the deployment of an inclusive, democratic and peaceful school climate

Playful work design: introduction of a new concept

This article introduces the concept of playful work design-the process through which employees proactively create conditions within work activities that foster enjoyment and challenge without changing the design of the job itself. First, we review play theory and the motives people may have to play during work. In addition, we use the literature on proactive work behavior to argue that individuals can take personal initiative to increase person-job fit. Combining these literatures, we provide a theoretical framework for playful work design. We discuss the development and validation of an instrument to assess playful work design, and review recent studies to elucidate the psychological effects of playful work design and its possible outcomes. Finally, we briefly discuss practical implications

Mejora del comportamiento preventivo diarreico a través del juego sociodramático terapéutico en niños en edad escolar / Improving diarrheal preventive behavior through therapeutic sociodramatic play in school-aged children

Los comportamientos de vida sanos y limpios entre los niños en edad escolar todavía son relativamente bajos, exponiéndolos al riesgo de experimentar problemas de salud en el futuro, como la diarrea. Sin embargo, el período de los niños en edad escolar es el punto de partida para desarrollar comportamientos saludables y se convierte en un objetivo estratégico para mejorar la salud. Los niños en edad escolar están en un período de desarrollo operativo concreto para requerir métodos de educación sanitaria que puedan reflejar experiencias reales e interactivas. El estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el efecto del sociodrama terapéutico sobre los cambios de comportamiento preventivo de la diarrea en niños en edad escolar (6-12 años). El método de estudio utilizado cuasi experimento pre-post con grupo control que consistió en dos grupos; 38 sujetos fueron como grupos de intervención y 38 sujetos fueron como grupos de control. Muestreo aleatorio multietapa utilizado para determinar el área de investigación y la escuela, mientras que la muestra del sujeto de la investigación utilizó un muestreo aleatorio simple. Los resultados mostraron que el sociodrama terapéutico se realizó significativamente en el conocimiento (valor de p = 0,000), actitud (valor de p = 0,000) y habilidades de prevención de la diarrea (valor de p = 0,001). El sociodrama terapéutico podría aplicarse como un esfuerzo para mejorar el comportamiento preventivo de la diarrea de los niños en edad escolar que podría integrarse en el servicio de enfermería escolar

Healthy and clean living behaviors among school-aged children are still relatively low, exposing them to the risk of experiencing health problems in the future, such as diarrhea. This school-age period is actually the earliest phase in which children can develop healthy behaviors, hence making this phase a strategic target for health improvements. School-aged children are in a period of concrete operational development and they require specific health education methods that can reflect real and interactive experiences. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of therapeutic sociodramatic play on diarrheal preventive behaviors among school-aged children (6-12 years). The study design was a quasi-experimental with pre-and post-tests design, involving 76 school-age children who were divided into intervention group and control group. Multistage random sampling was used to determine the research area and school where the research was conducted, while the research subject was selected using simple random sampling. The results showed that therapeutic sociodramatic play significantly affects knowledge (p value = 0.000), attitudes (p value = 0.000), and diarrheal prevention skills (p value = 0.001). The study recommends that therapeutic sociodramatic play could be applied in an effort to enhance healthy and clean living behaviors and to prevent diarrhea among school-aged children, and it could be integrated into school nursing services
