研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a game-based intervention can enhance psychological resilience and promote positive affectivity in adults who have experienced major life stress.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the game-based intervention improve positive affectivity and mental health compared to a waitlist control group immediately after the intervention and at 3-month follow-up?
- Are the mental health benefits of the game-based intervention mediated by improvements in positive affectivity over time?
Researchers will compare the game-based intervention to an active control group and a waitlist control group to see if the game leads to better emotional and mental health outcomes.
Participants will:
- Be randomly assigned to the game-based intervention group, the psychoeducation intervention group (as active control group), or the waitlist control group
- Engage with the assigned program for 10 days within two weeks
- Complete psychological assessments before and after the intervention, and again at 3-month follow-up

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline in the Symptom-Checklist 90 (SCL-90) at Post-Assessment and 3-Month Follow-Up
时间窗: Baseline, Post-Intervention (2 weeks), and 3-Month Follow-Up
This outcome assesses changes in participants' psychological symptoms using the Symptom-Checklist 90 (SCL-90), a validated self-report instrument that measures a broad range of psychological problems and symptoms of psychopathology. Scores will be collected at baseline, immediately after the two-week intervention, and at 3-month follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of the game-based intervention in improving mental health outcomes.
